Debian,Gentoo,Slackware,Ubuntu

I use all four, for different purpouses, of course.
You use all four??
GNOME,Unity,KDE,Xfce....XXXX

No. I'm not touching KDE with a 4-foot pole (sorry, KDE folks, you are doing a great job, but I'm just not a KDE guy :).
I also find GNOME2 "neither fish nor flesh" these days.

I run Oneiric+Unity on my "everyday" laptop (making it, among other advantages, girlfriend-compliant :) and either Slackware+FVWM or Debian+WindowMaker on my decrepit laptop and/or on my EEEPC, when I need a distractions-free envinronment to run an Emacs session and maybe pine on an otherwise sluggish machine.
Debian is also my server OS of choice, Gentoo is for playing around :)

Makes perfect sense to me.

oh....different tools for different purposes

Do you seriously think that I should attempt to run Unity on a S3 Virge and/or I should slap FVWM on my girlfriend's uber-specced MBP and teach her how to edit .fvwmrc? :)

Maybe,because linux desktop developers only have been listening to those users who already are using linux and like it.
Maybe...

Oh, come one, Unity is a definite step in the opposite direction.
Everybody knows that real developers don't even use a DE, they do everything within an emacs session :P

But enough about me - seriously, if you don't like Ubuntu, why not just use Debian?
It basically IS Ubuntu minus the bits you don't like.
