I've been running Fedora for the better part of a year. The switching costs for me were negligible. What I like about Fedora is that it is really stable while still being pretty bleeding edge. Vanilla Fedora (running unmodified Gnome) is really an excellent OS. So far, I haven't had any major issues. The biggest thing I missed was the Macbook trackpad. The Dell XPS's trackpad is janky by comparison. That said, I won't be confident in recommending this setup until I've been through another year or so of upgrade cycles.
