 From a developer? Of Linux? Or of Linux software?

I disagree with this statement entirely. Fedora Core is not a
stable release. For that reason, IMO, it is unsuitable for
doing stable software development. OTOH, if one is designing
commercial software, and wants a test machine or two set up
the way one projects the world will be when the software is
ready for release, then one probably needs to have something
like Fedora core on those test machines.

For all *RHEL* distros.

Oh yes there are "distro wars". I just don't participate in 'em.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
