Fair enough, what I meant by "fit and polish" is the visual identity of Ubuntu, from the custom font, to the icons, color scheme and ultimately Unity. They don't meet everyone's personal taste, but I don't think anyone can argue that Canoni

I doubt many people will switch distros from Ubuntu to Fedora due only to GNOME 3 because the former still has many advantages (huge repositories, apt-get, large community, overall fit and polish, etc..) and on 11.10 GNOME 3 is a fully supp
