So do I.

I also believe that Linux adoption is in a big part driven by
enthusiasts who install it to their friends' computers and invite others
to try. Because of this, it is important to cater for such power users
and developers, as they are the ones who eventually spread the word that
Fedora is a good distribution.

This is the reason why I find it important to make the life as good as
possible for the power users / developers / enthusiasts: when the they
like using Fedora and developing software with Fedora, they're likely to
also invite other people to try Fedora out. Which means more users, more
developers, more people to spread the word.
