The next version of Fedora, Fedora 12, will integrate a Moblin Desktop Environment. It can be easily "groupinstalled" via the yum package manager. The environment has already been added to the Constantine alpha release of Fedora 12 and to Fedora's "Rawhide" development branch. They're seeking testers to "make it great" for the final release of Fedora 12, which will be released in early November.

I have been a long-time Debian stable and Slackware user (10 years or so) and I definitely value stability over bleeding edge. I remember trying Fedora Core in its early days and having a terrible time with stability.
However, in the past year, I decided to devote one of my laptops (Thinkpad x61s) to Fedora, starting with F10. I have been very pleasantly surprised at both F10 and F11. The installs have been flawless, the repos have met all my needs, and the stability has been there. Yum with yum-fastestmirror and yum-presto easily matches apt in transaction time, and yum's clean and informative output exceeds the garbage apt spews out.
Overall, Fedora has definitely improved its overall experience, and I find myself quite enjoying my time with my Fedora laptop. I still love and use Debian and Slackware (and probably always will) but Fedora has really impressed me.
