As a base distro Fedora can concentrate to be a good desktop even without considering the Multimedia issues.
With some more polish like to be a good choice for Laptop, ease of use.
And even with those I guess Fedora will not loose its appeal as server distro.
Whether we don't support Fedora for long time or not its being used as server in lots of places, at production sites.
Because of its stability (acceptable range) and ease of configure. Its got the balance of configuration using GUI and command line.
Only painful thing to me is YUM. RPM packages are good but YUM, Pirut and others are not good enough.
Synaptic is still better to see what updates are available, then choose one and find out what are the dependencies which are going to be downloaded and etc.
Fedora has so many ways to go and opportunities, may be thats why we don't know where to go.
Certainly, I don't want to mention it as just a developer distro.
Also, any derivatives should be able to say its based on Fedora rather then removing all Fedora branding. Fedora should be that much flexible.
Why don't we arrange a poll ?
Cheers,
Imtiaz

There is so much that Fedora can do while only using FOSS, the limit is
the developers/users imaginations. Fedora is used from studios (Pixar)
to embedded device like OLPC and Playstation 3. I think most outsiders
won't admit they don't understand how the process works and instead rely
on misquoted and twisted views from some IT medias.
