At the risk of sounding like an ass: if the distro does not suit your purpose 
or meet your needs, switch to one that does, rather than continue to point 
out why Kubuntu does *not* meet your needs.  That's choice, and it's a 
perfectly good option.

I myself prefer Kubuntu for both desktop and server installations, and have 
never found sudo a hindrance, nor do I miss su (I have root login disabled on 
my non-Kubuntu systems).  In fact, when administering my FC systems, I 
frequently miss sudo.
