Being the default for so many people, Canonical has felt the need to load Ubuntu with a lot of things to make things easier, but in doing so, Ubuntu has, in many ways, become almost as bloated as Windows. We've talked about that before, and there are options to have a lighter Ubuntu experience, but just look at what's happening with the upcoming release
