Aren't those the big selling points of Ubuntu - graphics drivers and unity? Both of which as you say are irrelevant on a server, I agree.

On the desktop you bet, it beats Windows for me. On the server, check the other comments, LTS and the ability to run newer stuff but still be very stable. I really don't see why you're having an issue, Ubuntu Server is plain and works well.
