I do use kubuntu only for system settings (qtcurve theme with fakeosx 
gnome3, as I found gnome3 themes not very nice, mainly too dark), but 
12.04 was better on first beta than final in my opinion, because I often 
have messages that utuntu 12.04 has crashed or an application has 
crashed... It sounds buggy ! synaptic doesn't work any more after a 
while (i guess after updating)... Well as a final it doesn't seems 
stable as usually it is with other versions... I already reinstalled 
twice and always the same.
I use firefox and thunderbird as mail client because it does manage my 
mail boxes perfectly.
