I think a big advantage of Fedora (also Ubuntu) is that a lot of its maintainers are being paid by Red Hat to maintain it. A lot of times your bug reports are going to be quickly read, you know it's very likely there is someone who is getting paid to ensure whatever problems you may have, don't happen. I know a lot of other distros have this too, but Red Hat employs a lot of Fedora maintainers. OTOH, you're kinda subject to Red Hat's will. But then, every project is subject to its controllers. It's not like the Debian people are doing a good job just because they're not subject to a for-profit company. Personally, I am very thankful for fact that the Fedora project is often the first to adopt certain technologies and inflict in their users the pain of fixing the first bugs and stabilizing the technology. Then a few years later I get it in Debian and it works just fine.
