I agree. For Linux to become a mature, usable and stable enough platform, I believe that manmy of the distro communities need to join forces and have more heads working on richer, more stable, secure and usable releases.
Installation of new software is the first thing that needs to be fixed. Most users want double-click installation. Not the complex scenario that Linux currently present. That is why Linspire is probably the only distro I would recommend to non-techies as if you install from their "warehouse", it's all point and click.
I have seen some very nice distro's out there. I hope they all prosper into the above.
Too many distro's + Usability
