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?<br>

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 "<u>work</u>".....(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....<br>
