Just for what little it's worth:

Yes, I agree with Oliver's comment here

Agreed again.

Ubuntu is intended to be "Linux for human beings".

Not a techie OS. A replacement for Windows, for the billions who just
point and click. A replacement for MacOS, for those who find Windows
too much of a pain.

It's about as good for developers as any other Linux.

Fedora might be a little better: it is explicitly aimed at developers.
But Fedora is a 6-monthly alpha-test of tech that may go into the next
RHEL. That's it's _real_ purpose. RH's excuse, its _pretext_ for this,
is that by getting all the latest components every ½ year, it's good
for developers.
