I have used both. Debian is not user friendly as Ubuntu. Debian is raw power. Ubuntu is tamed.
give some examples like things you got in ubuntu which debian was lacking (may be if you tried sarge, you might wan to try etch before commenting). I don't know what you mean by tamed, you might have meant more splashy or eye candy.
Ubuntu has more automated processes whereas in Debian you got to do some things manually. I have used Sarge and Etch testing. In Debian if you put in a usb pen drive, it loads it but has to be accessed in a browser by entering its path. In Ubuntu it shows a nice icon on the desktop that you can double click. There are more examples but I can't recollect them all. Debian is excellent for console. Ubuntu for GUI. I don't want to comment on Etch testing's gui. :P
Though one thing I must add that except for Sarge where it worked, I have been struggling and unable to share my printer over the network till today. I have to get files into my pen drive and paste them on the main printer machine.
