For me the connotation of "versus" is not argumentative at all, it is simply
a comparison.  OTOH, two of you have now commented on that subject line so I
guess "versus" is more of a charged word than I thought.  Anyhow, if it
makes you feel better, mentally translate the subject line to "Comparison of
Ubuntu and Debian" which is all that is meant by it.

Also, I am sure there are plenty of Linux users here who like simplified but
less powerful interfaces or who have tried Debian and Ubuntu for substantial
periods of time like I have done so I expected to hear from them in this
thread rather than it just being a one-off opinion piece.
