Right. I've tried other distros and I'm just not comfortable enough with them. There's no shame in being inexperienced at something. Ubuntu makes my life easier so I use it. If I grow out of it one day (which I really doubt) then I'll switch but it makes no sense forcing yourself to use something you don't understand because someone thinks they know what's best for you.
Be a l337 hipster with your desktop if you must, but for servers go with what has had the most man hours put into its evolution toward stability, performance, support (aka, it just works). In that regard, if Ubuntu is good enough for Facebook's servers (I hear, but haven't verified) it's good enough for mine.
