Laptop friendly Linux distros

Except for Debian. I wonder what happened with the Debian Live project...

It is frustrating in general that Debian does not focus as much as
Ubuntu on user friendliness. Although they are improving, e.g. with
the new graphical installer in Etch, they are often a step behind:
e.g. Ubuntu's gnome-app-install does not work on Debian, e-mail me
off-list for details why.

Am I supposed to move to Ubuntu? I love Debian though, it Just Works.
