I would go further and say that Fedora is the testing ground for new software for Red Hat, so it's about alpha quality. They always use the latest versions of everything, and whatever doesn't generate too many complaints makes it into the next release of RHEL. Fedora forces you to upgrade every six months by releasing a new version and dropping security updates for older versions. I got so annoyed with this (and being an unpaid alpha tester) that I stopped using it around FC6. > The difference between them is > similar to the difference between ubuntu and debian.

I much prefer it over Ubuntu and Debian for stability and ease of management.
