I have felt the same way about Ubuntu as you do about Crunchbang (and also felt the same way about Ubuntu as reddragdiva feels about XFCE/Xubuntu) with the big difference being that I'm more into the Windows poseur features and pissed that they appear much less by default these days and so much more must be "sudo / apt / get *" than in earlier versions just to make it like earlier versions that I too can't be arsed and bollocks with it being 2012 already and all that. Judging by rdr's post, the comments to it and comments I got to my post about Ubuntu, it appears the state of open source after many of the latest releases is trending toward Definitely Not Good. As rdr says, they need to get off the ontological trip and start figuring out what people actually want. Windows already gives most people what they need and more of what they actually want than open source does at this stage of the game.
