Fedora is what Windows users use when they want to use Linux. It's gui tools leave no room for real interaction and never force the user to do much outside of X.
Since these users never get under the hood of Linux and realize why it is such a powerful and extensible operating system, they never see Linux as much more than a decent desktop alternative. Fedora users are Windows users who are trying Linux. They never get past that step.
Ubuntu doesn't have a tool for configuring every last setting. Just most of the common ones. Eventually when running Ubuntu you will be forced to edit a config file, or compile something from source. You will be forced out of X to do something. You will get a glimpse at least of whats under this shiny Gnome desktop. You may even come to find out why you should want to run Linux, instead of wanting to run Linux just because you are less likely to get a virus or get stick with some spyware.
On that note, I think every Linux user, or potential Linux user should run Slackware for a few months. After a few months of tracking down every dependency and compiling almost everything form source, moving to Ubuntu feels like moving into your own little piece of heaven.
With what I learned from running Slackware, I can tackle any issue that arises on my Ubuntu system. With tools like apt, I have a lot less of those issues to deal with.
Should anyone go BACK to Fedora? No. If they feel they NEED to try something they should try Slackware. Coming back to Ubuntu from Slackware would be quite the homecoming. You would be coming home with some useful skills as well. :D
