Ubuntu may be a very user friendly distribution, but take that away and you get a distribution that's mediocre at the best of times. And its largely because the Ubuntu devs have no clue how to actually do a Linux system properly. Upstart may be "fast" but I much prefer Arch's init system (With SysV pretending to act like BSD Init.) which is a lot more flexible and much simpler. At the risk of sounding like a dick, sometimes I wish there was a way to flag ideas on this mailing list as Stupid Ideas(tm). Switching Arch to Upstart would be one of them.
