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.
