It's come to my attention lately that Fedora has, essensially, become

I think the time has come for Fedora to be split up into subgroups:

That sounds like what we had a few releases back, with Core+Extras. I'm
glad that's gone; less stuff available for initial install, more repos
to manage... ick.
By the same token, a developer is not likely to use any gui tool that
does not provide some extreme 'ease of use' case (be honest,
how many of ya'll use vi or vim over gedit?).
Um... I wouldn't say I use vim "over" kwrite, I just use whichever seems
most convenient at the time and for the given task. IOW, while I use
kwrite/kate/kdevelop a lot, I *also* use vim a lot. Besides, having a
CLI-only text editor is IMO absolutely vital. You need it when logging
in remotely over a slow connections, or when things go wrong with X (or
when you need to do a few things between reboots* and are too lazy to
fire up a desktop environment).
(* e.g. one of these days I /really/ need to power down, swap in my
dying laptop's HD, dump files off it, rinse, repeat, and put the other
HD back; several reboots to fiddle with hardware. No reboots for
software, of course, this *is* Linux after all :-).)
Fedora cannot (realistically) provide an ideal all-in-one distribution,
but it can, if ya'll are willing to try, provide multiple distributions
capable of providing ideal platforms to each group.
Um... why not? That's *exactly* what I want out of Fedora; packages for
just about anything I want :-). And, of course, my wants will be
different from Joe's wants, or Tom's wants, or Sue's wants, or...

Your eyes are weary from staring at the CRT. You feel sleepy. Notice how
restful it is to watch the cursor blink. Close your eyes. The opinions
stated above are yours. You cannot imagine why you ever felt otherwise.
