I use the latest version (a month or two after release) on my personal computers and the latest LTS on all my servers, and it's been very good so far.

Really? when I tried that, I had to reinstall every six months or it would stop working.
Really? Hmm, I've been upgrading the same installation since 10.04 or something, it's been working well. However, I did create a list of scripts at some point to make reinstallation a one-command affair:

How would it "stop working"? I've done re-installations here and there, but I can't think of a single time that it just "stopped working". And yes, after a couple months I usually do an in place upgrade for my laptops, desktop, and servers that have all been running Ubuntu for a few years.

Well, usually everything breaks, rendering the system unusable, requiring a reinstall. And than there was that time where the new kernel (somewhere in 3.x, IIRC) refused to boot on my setup (I'm running Intel x86-64, so nothing uncommon). But that only happened once.
