However, due to some of the issues I've pointed out, I've started not using the package manager for the main components for the development work I do, because of the problem of not being able to use the package manager to maintain multiple versions of an application on a system - something that could be implemented almost trivially, by restructuring the way packages are installed.
I've found this annoying at times. I think Debian does a better job of this, though it's been a while since I've used it. The flip argument is that with multiple versions things get more complicated and focus is taken away from working on the latest version which is definitely one of Fedora's main goals.
