In that it doesn't advertise enough features? (I remember seeing promos for joining Fedora as a contributor and Rythmbox when doing some repeated installs over the Thanksgiving weekend. But there was at least one more that I don't remember.)
Personally I don't expect to be inspired by an installer, but I think that perhaps additional promos could help people know where to get started with some things.
6) Fedora hasn't managed to get the same kind of hype there is around Ubuntu. Partly because of not benefitting of DEbian's propaganda network, partly because of points 2,3,4,5 and partly due to bad PR.
I think Fedora gets a lot of good PR, but not in the places the average user would notice. Linux Weekly News is very good to Fedora. We get a lot of coverage there and most of it is positive. We also have our own category for kernel type at bugzilla.kernel.org which says to me, that our kernel people work very well with upstream and keep our kernels very current so that bugs about them are of interest to upstream. Fedora is the only distribution to get this distiction.
