And Xubuntu and Kubuntu are both of woeful quality because the entire
focus of the core Ubuntu developer base is on Ubuntu, with no concern
about the effects of that on derivatives. Ubuntu is better than Debian
because they were able to focus their development efforts on a specific
goal. Xubuntu is worse than Debian because they're forced to cope with
architectural changes made without reference to them.
