Well the reason its called userfriendly is because it quite frankly is. I previously ran RedHat Fedora at home and they are very similar. Ubuntu does take the user a notch up and goes out of their way of getting things to "Just Work" out of the box. Fedora is a kickass distribution and i run it at work on my Terminal Servers but for my home and laptop computer Ubuntu is just very nice to me. I dont thrive in installing drivers etc (i hate it in Windows too) and a dist that does everything for me gets a thumbs up. On a production machine its a whole other story and i mostly put RedHat on those.
