Yes, I can see how the -buntus have become generally the Linux standard and I think it's a wonderful distribution (Using it right now and loving it more than any other distribution; I don't think I can ever live without APT/Synaptic). However, there's more than one Linux poweruser browsing these forums and they may disagree.
Personally, I think the -buntus have become the Linux equivalent of those commercial pre-installed Windows installations you find on the desktop/laptop computers you buy from whichever vender, if not only for the fact that it too is loaded with bloatware. Though, for the record, -buntu's "bloatware" is WAY easier to get rid of.
I know a few Linux power users who would rather stick with Debian, Red Hat, or Gentoo and often refer to the -buntus as "n00b Linux," for a lack of better term. K/X/Ubuntu has become the standard for those getting introduced to Linux, but for those who are very well acquainted with it already it tends to get irritating.
