It works well without any surprises
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu Server's dpkg/apt package management system is faster than competing solutions (e.g. rpm in CentOS, RHEL).
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much I don't like about Ubuntu Server. Ubuntu Desktop's Amazon affiliation (and possible telemetry?) is a concern.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I run Ubuntu Server on several servers and it works well. In particular, the integrated LXD environment for provisioning and managing containers is fantastic when you need a container to be more of a "lightweight VM" than a single-application Docker container.
Familiar and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
If you're familiar with Mac operating systems, you'll have no issues using an Ubuntu OS. It's also faster, and you can easily develop your software with little to no issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you're unfamiliar with Mac OS, you might have a bit of difficulty learning how to use Ubuntu. The UI is much more simplified than a PC, so having to click less than you're used to might be a bit of a challenge!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Ubuntu to connect to Bash and manage my files using GitHub.
Simple linux system for simple linux needs
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use as a new linux user and great for dev work.

Nothing, its great. A good basis for any linux needs.

Use it for dev work.

Never looked back
What do you like best about the product?
I love the flexibility of Ubuntu. It is easy to use from the terminal and easy to use from the GUI. It runs pretty much everything I need to work (hey, even Steam have a lot of AAA games running on it now).
I even like the odd glitches that arise and the ensuing delves into stack overflow to try and fine some arcane fix for them.

What do you dislike about the product?
I guess the reduced availability of games is a downside (though that is changing - see comment re Steam); for the time being I will be sticking to my Windows gaming rig for that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easier for dev work as all our services run on Linux servers, also has less compatibility issues with a lot of dev tools when compared to Windows.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You may have a bit of a learning curve coming from Windows. Stick with it, Ubuntu is brilliant and the community is really supportive. After a bit you will wonder why you ever though it was a challenge.
Great operating system.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that It comes with software like LibreOffice and Firefox already installed. I also like the fact that there is a place with compatible software you can download built into the system. It has more GUI instead of CLI installs. It can Be installed on a flash drive and run a computer from it without affecting the computer OS.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not Like that it is more difficult to play windows games, though it can be done using some of the built-in applications with some setup
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use a portable version to repair computers booting into a live USB.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you do not use Linux based OS then now is probably the time to begin
Used for a multitude of things

It's versatiliy and customizability. I use it not only as an operating system but also to boot to when a computer needs a little system help.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although open source stuff is free, it's quality can be lacking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Back end computer repair, a sort of safe mode but with mode features.
