As for myself I'm a trained sound tech, somewhat musician who dabbles with video editing, graphics and some html/php site creations who was using Ubuntu Studio for years before I realised I could actually contribute as well beyond the forums. I appreciate the diversity of the distriution even though I don't use everything. I still make new discoveries of applications and some of them I will use, others not. The hard part for a distribution is what to include and not and why. I use Kdenlive, others use OpenShot or Cinerella. Which to choose or include them all and get the 'bloatware' stamp? I think 14.04 will make the choices easier for users while still providing an easy startup OS for someone new. /Jimmy
