I can't understand why you do not use Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS. What is a reason to use non-LTS Ubuntu release for programming or other non-hobby tasks?

IMHO below.
In present time many problems come from GNOME fast destruction and simpility/stupidity behavior. 
GNOME reduces its functionality very fast, and this changes are not tested for all regressions and bugs, this changes are not discussed with gnome-users. 
So many problems are common for all distros - i.e. Ubuntu 13.10, OpenSuSe 12.3, Fedora 20, Mageia 4 and others will use the same buggy and untested GNOME 3.x. As the most conservative solution we can use CentOS 6.5 (with GNOME 2.28 !! ) or Gentoo (with GNOME 2.32), but this solution is not universal for all users.

So If you choose Ubuntu, I recommend to use Ubuntu LTS on all PCs and laptops on which you do real work. 
For example, in system requirements for Android SDK Google mark Lucid Lynx (10.04, previous LTS) as tested Linux development platform (see http://developer.android.com/develop/index.html).

Bug description:
  New keyboard layout changer in Ubuntu 13.10 introduce  old-new bug. Any system or application hotkey witch use char (for example: ctrl+alt+t for terminal or ctrl+t for new tab in browser) become unfunctional when selected non-latin keyboard layout.
  Hotkeys with F1-12, numbers and other non-character buttons works perfectly.

  Window manager hotkeys not affected by this bug. All hotkeys in system
  parameters->keyboard->hotkeys->windows works perfect with any keyboard
  layout.

  Workaround for some system hotkeys and two layouts (english and non-
  latin): rebind all hotkeys in your local layout. For example instead
  of ctrl+alt+t use ctrl+alt+τ (greek tau). That hotkey still work with
  english layout.  If you use english and two different non-latin
  layouts this workaround helps only with one of them.

  For other layout switching problems introduced in Ubuntu 13.10 you can see bug 1218322.
