Again, this is subjective. I find they make Ubuntu _less_ user
friendly, by restricting choices and making choices for the user. I
gave up trying to configure Ubuntu for my machine; and ended up by
wiping it out and going back to Debian. Not that the task was
impossible; it just took too much work to undo all the choices made.
Yes, and in my case I had to rescue my exim config from debconf -
either on debian or on ubuntu - and stick it all in one monolithic
file the way exim originally works.
I would probably spend time doing that for a few other things too,
rather than have the configs, spoolfiles etc scattered all over the
filesystem, quite frequently in entirely non default places that are
totally debian specific. Just not bothered to do so yet.
