Though that one is very stable here and has been running well since the previews more than a year ago I don't really like their newer version (6.04/Dapper). Also an upgrade on another machine did not go as smooth as it should have and there were lots of reviews around a while ago with other people experiencing the same. So with Etch coming along so nicely (32 bit version here on an AMD 64 X2 and no problems in about two months since install) if I have to reinstall anyway might as well go for the real thing, and I find the Debian philosophy and mailing lists and web pages more agreeable than Ubuntu's forums etc. Last year round there wasn't much choice if you wanted up to date Gnome etc. but Etch is def. a huge step from Sarge (not that I'm dissing it, but it was a bit old for the desktop). ...and then the brown is starting to seriously annoy me, so much that I even got rid of the boot up splash and rather watch the whole thing raw...
