i am sorry to mark this invalid, but it is too vague and not really
true.

ubuntu comes with avahi installed by default, so if you connect too
ubuntu computers together they choose ip address, and can resolve each
other with hostname.local. see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToZeroconf

it is using the same technology as mac os x.

perhaps you mean that filesharing is not instantly enabled when you
connect 2 computers? it is not turned on by default on mac os x.

i recommend that if you want to make progress in making file sharing easier on 
ubuntu, to try the following.
investigate what is currently available (System->Administration->Shared 
folders, gshare, ...)
start a discussion on the forums ( 
http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=253 will be updated for 8.04 soon)
write a spec
