Let me reply for myself - Maven 3.2, Java 8 by default, Eclipse 4.4, GTK 3.12, Webkitgtk 2.4, XMvn and other packager tools changes. Let's not forget that many people use Fedora as their development machine and having your users reporting bugs when working with libraries/tools newer than available in latest fedora kills the reason into using fedora.
