Agreed. I readopted Fedora as my distro of choice around 19 and haven't looked back.

  I've been using Fedora since they forked from RedHat for the simple reason that clicking "Next" through the installer or mashing F12 always did the right thing by default. Ubuntu and Debian, by comparison, would always ask stupid questions that had even dumber defaults. Nothing would ever work unless you went out of your way to look things up. The Fedora team has done a really great job of keeping the distribution coherent and functional even though they've fully embraced the "move fast and break things" mentality. The only down-side to Fedora is they iterate really quickly and there's no LTS option, as that's what RedHat is for, but if you can turn over your installations on a regular basis (e.g. cloud servers) it's not really a big deal.

    They didn't fork, RH just rebranded it.

      Fedora is not identical to RedHat. It's more of a proving ground for new things that may or may not make their way back into RedHat Enterprise Linux. It's not a simple rebrand. Fedora Core 1 took what was staged for RedHat 10 and packaged it with a different license and sent it off in a different direction.
