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 wouldn't call it broken. Fedora has a large install base and that simply would not be the case if it was broken.

Most of the people and organizations there get paid to use Fedora.
Every time I have tried Fedora I have been disappointed. It is unstable, many times(as in different non-consecutive versions) I can't even get it to install because the installer crashes, and that's with the stable versions I cannot imagine what a beta would do to my computer(Oh yes, I can, it would burn my ethernet card). And by the way, its package management is still horrible.
The people in Fedora seem to think that having to compile an older version of a module and integrating it with a modern kernel is a normal operating procedure. It surely is for their users, because they don't bother to test a new kernel before commiting it.
Ubuntu is not perfect, many times it breaks with new releases and package updates, but it is in a completely different league. The league of trying to get an operating system out of the mess upstream delivers.
