"Sure, If you use any distribution for a while, sooner or later, you will encounter the dependency nightmare described."
Are you very sure that those problems weren't self inflicted? From what i've seen (and, yes, experienced) most dependency problems result from too-eager installations of non-official packages. The moment you start rolling your own packages from dodgy sources, or worse, 'making; installing' you're setting yourself up for a fall. And really, I've seen _very_ few dependency problems the last years. If Fedora still has them it suprises me it's still so popular. (but then again, just read those responses)
Yes finally, please don't try to pull other distros down to Fedora's level. Most are _stable_ nowadays, unless you don't know what're doing.
