Jam-packed

What do you like best about the product?
The mere fact that the packages you install work together and are stable but also almost new makes it a must have for developers and administrators working on the bleeding-edge of the scene, the package manager especially is like compatible so people coming from Debian wouldn't have trouble getting started with Ubuntu though there are few adjustments that you have to make like the initialization system and etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes when you're looking for packages you have to scour their repositories or look for user-made repositories on the internet to be able to use the package that you need, with that being said; it may also come that your system will break because of a package not natively supported in the eco system of the version of Ubuntu you are using
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've developed backend servers and web applications with Ubuntu and deployed them also with Ubuntu as the Operating System and as I can say, it is very stable and would cater the needs of the majority
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're new to the Linux Ecosystem then Ubuntu is a must-have because it introduces you to Linux with such ease that you wouldn't even have to use a manual to get the feel of it.

For hardcore developers and system administrators; all the tools that you need to start working is already in the Package Manager and it is up for you to install them and maintain them accordingly.

With the right people and the right mindset with this Operating System, everything is possible.

What do you like best about the product?
i like it because it's open source so i can see all, also it's free, and you don't have to buy office(Word, Power-point, Excel etc.)
What do you dislike about the product?
some application that normally work with GPU (nvidia), but ubuntu run it with just CPU even that the GPU is installed
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
with ubuntu i can easy write scripts, and i can solve some dependency, but in other OS i can't do it very easy like this.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
No virus or Malware, no need to pay for anti-virus software which eats lots of system resources and make your pc slow day by day and need regular update. it's free and it's very stable, so just try it and i'm sure that you will never use other operating systems.

Ubuntu desktop system can be a work environment for developers and at the same time be a system for non developers. It provides a bunch of software that you can watch movies ,play games. the most convenient is that you can even have a duel system on your desktop .
