The first argument that I come up with is that many Ubuntu sub-projects are
not upstream. For example if an Ubuntu translator, translate a gnome string,
Launchpad will not upstream the string to Gnome translations so the other
distributions won't have that string translated.
An another thing is that Ubuntu uses many tools like Launchpad which are
closed source. Hey, we are a FOSS community over here.

A personal argument is that Ubuntu is trying to be more like Windows and
less than a typical Linux distribution. Evolution is good, but don't try to
be more like your enemy for wining more fans. It's not right!

I am a little bit tired so I can't think anything else right now. Hope to
helped you. Good luck.
