It’s also a way to start over with a clean slate, getting ride of a multitude of older installation sins. The LTS installation still works just fine, but there are times where having the latest is needed trying to backport the latest package releases to an older distribution release is pointless and fraught with errors when you can just step up to the next formal release. Biggest reason for moving to the next Ubuntu release is getting the latest (at that point in time) versions of core packages and applications, such as the kernel, gcc, Firefox, and LibreOffice, to name but four.
I upgraded to Ubuntu 14.10 in spite of my promise (to myself) to stick with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (long term support) for the entire time it’ll be supported, which is five years.
