Much of his problems had to do with 3rd party software like the Nvidia drivers, skype, etc. It's hard to imagine how ubuntu could be more hostile to 3rd parties than fedora.

I'm glad you have such a positive assessment of Fedora.

Feel free to point out how I'm wrong if you can find any cases where the distro goes out of its way to help enable its users to install/use any 3rd party item. The best thing I can say is that they try to be internally self-consistent most of the time. But in my opinion, an operating system should be just be a platform where you install other things. If it doesn't either provide a stable interface for those things or a mechanism to help deal with its unstable nature, there's not much point to using it.
