The following answers were particularly applicable at the time Ubuntu came onto the scene.
> What was so bad about Debian ?
1) Unpredictable upgrade cycles. 2)Packages in stable were a bit on the ancient side. Ubuntu LTS is awesome (other projects like Firefox have since copied the fixed release cycle)
> If you don't like Debian Why not give a a bsd a try
Because BSD had (has?) poorer driver support for consumer products (like on my dev laptop)
I don't care much for Canonical and some of their other projects (Unity desktop, Ubuntu One), but Ubuntu as a project is pretty kick-ass. Ubuntu stepped into desktop linux in a big way as other Linux vendors abandoned ship (see RHEL)
