Is it just because I'm in the middle of it, or is Ubuntu really taking off? I'm not very much into other distros or communities, so I've no idea how big Ubuntu is compared to them, other than that Ubuntu definitely appeals to Debian-users (shockingly enough :---) ).

Yes, it seems so. Many gnome and debian developers seem to switch to ubuntu at least on one of their PCs. Also the numbers on Distrowatch (http://distrowatch.com) are pretty impressive. I think no distribution ever before came so high so fast.

Many people talk about hype, but I think there's more hype about hype than there is really hype about ubuntu (yeah :-P )
