This is often repeated but never with any concrete and specific evidence.

You want concrete and specific evidence for a subjective judgement call based on peoples own experiences?

Where's your concrete and specific evidence that nearly everybody else's subjective personal experience is somehow objectively 'wrong' and needs justifying?

The 100 Papercuts projects, for example.

Debian has bothered more in the decade or so since Ubuntu started. And, of course, fixes go upstream where applicable - Ubuntu deals with a lot less platforms than Debian has to account for - and Canonical employees work directly on Debian in a few areas.

But dude, I remember how much pain Breezy Badger wasn't compared to Debian at the time, in so many ways.
