Right.  Fedora will likely not be your cup of tea, because while it goes in 
a slightly different directions than ubuntu, it charges ahead away from the 
old and familiar just like ubuntu.

RHEL/CentOS won't adopt gnome3 until it's significantly more usable / 
configurable.

Note that if you're just mad about gnome3, fedora still installs gnome2 for 
those that don't have sufficiently advanced video cards.  That will likely 
be case for a long time, since the video card requirements for gnome3 aren't 
likely to go away.
