ESR ranting :)  Printing always has been difficult - but is 
getting easier (msw never believes me on this one :) )
CUPS is hard to set up but easy once its done but it may be
over egging the pudding and adding too many features.

Many of the user interface comments are good - but see also,
for example, many of the comments posted on Slashdot.

Bottom line: don't use Fedora, its graphical configuration tools 
suck? [Which was the conclusion that many of the /.'ers came to -
too many inconsistent configuration mechanisms due to "clever
packaging" by the various distributions]
