I agree with you, so do you think Ubuntu delivers stable software ... from
what I've seen it is not worth trying it. The only use I see in ubuntu is
on usb stick to quickly repair something. You could easily take debian testing or unstable if
you want to catch up.
Everything has pros and cons.

As I have several computers (different generations...) and big disks, I
usually run several species of Linux in multiboot (my standard install
uses "only" 150 GB, so a 2 TB disk is more than enough).
Debian (or Debianbased) is my first choice for my main machine (with a newer
kernel if necessary, such as support for a sound card (yes, Jessie does not
support my 2012 card out of the box...).
openSUSE is generaly my second choice (because I can install TDE) but newer
versions are no more up to what SuSE was :(
As you say, everything has pros and cons... but with Linux you always have
another possibility!
