You are missing the most used by far Debian branch: Debian testing. It is ideal for desktop used, continuously updated and breaks seldom if ever: for me it's been several years of rock-solid desktop use, with a trickle of bugs that get fixed before stable. Now that it has security support there is really little to complain about. If Fedora needs a role model I would suggest they study Debian testing closely.

Debian ceased security support for testing after the release of lenny:

AFAICT that hasn't resumed yet.
