I disagree. Use Kubuntu or E17 or even better: Windowmaker.
You know what? I guess we wont find consens about this detail. Why
don't we all continue to give out anything minimal useable (like lxde
or xfce, who cares?) and if someone comes along who disagrees, then he
himself should remove all that shit and install something neat like
i3wm?

Alternatively one could run tasksel during installation, but that
would require further tweaking of the crappy way of installation that
ubuntu has chosen, so i guess thats probably not an option.
