I also switched to Fedora from rhl9. I discovered that while it's roots are the same, it's DEFINATLY not the same quality that RH always was (running it since 6.1..)
RH, for me, always had the highest polish and quality out of the box than any other distro. I installed Fedora, expecting the same thing, and I was sorely disappointed. My CD burner didn't work out of the box (Plextor), when I tried to change some mimetypes in GNOME's control panel it always reverted, when I installed KDE 3.1, there were no desktop icons, Nautilus and file-roller's create archive didn't show up like in RH9, etc.. I can list about ten other issues. I'm still using Fedora ATM, but I'm considering either switching back to RH or installing something else.
