Trend which I see in my Linux "neighbourhood" is quite transparent -
people switch from Fedora elsewhere: some of them to Centos, others
to different distro, some leave Linux entirely. Perhaps nobody now
is using Gnome3. Reasons were always same - unacceptable quantum of
bugs, which solving take unacceptable quantum of time (when problem
was possible tackle/bypass by himself). Or there were some SW faults
which was needed solve with developers, and in many cases it wasn't
solved even until distro EOL.

I myself was not afraid install Fedora at production workstations and
servers, even in their beta phase - but it ended with F12-F13 (F14 was
still good distro, but in beta phase there was unworkable systemd; in
final release was upstart). And now I install Fedora not before several
weeks after final releas - and for testing purposes only.


Well, is curious...   I see the opposite situation.  People from other distros  (especially Ubuntu)  dropping into Fedora.  May be a geographic difference?

To add my 2 cents,.....I have both Ubuntu and Fedora on two separate machines,the Ubuntu box is more for "dabbling" around with different apps and the like,....while I've always used my Fedora machine for "work".....(creating spreadsheets for inventory of PC's laptops and hardware for the company I work for....using LibreOffice, and responding to HelpDesk tickets that I forward to myself from work to Thunderbird / GMail at home!) And while I STILL haven't upgraded to 18 as yet I eventually will......I'm just terribly afraid of losing a lot....and since I'm not conversant enough with the command line to "restore" my DejaDup Backups....I'm pretty much stuck for the moment until I know 18 is a little more stable...as for people "jumping ship" even though a few of the releases might have had a lot of bugs...I don't think I'll be leaving Fedora just yet...LoL! I will wait to see if things smooth out by like...19...maybe 20....
