For me it was the aggravation.
Installing was always a struggle.
I was on F14 when I tried to do a fresh install of F16.
Never got it to work.
I'm running CentOS now, but keep F14 around in case I need it for something.

Maybe it's because you skipped a release? (F15) I would take the advice of many of the peopel on this list and upgrade when possible, this way you have fewer issues.

As mentioned, I tried to do a *fresh install*.
I never seriously consider upgrades.
A failed upgrade would leave me without the old and without the new.
That said, I did try to do a fresh install
of F15 followed by an upgrade to F16.
No go. Don't remember exactly why. It might be in the archives somewhere.
F17 would not install either.

Oh. Ok...I for one am trying to keep it strictly "upgrades only", but every now and then something doesn't go as planned, in which case I go the "fresh-install" route myself. Here's to hoping the future releases will be solid and error free, (keeping fingers crossed! LOL!)
