There are projects standardizing the stuff that benefits from being the same. Different people have different needs, though, so they have choices. The cool thing is that means Linux can never have a debacle like Vista, instead it can only get a better. One distro can try something and if it sucks no other distro us affected, beijing maybe gaining new users. If the new idea works well, the other distros start including it. So each distro is a little laboratory for new ideas and only the stuff that works well gets picked up by the others.
