Regardless of its popularity I think that Fedora is maybe the most interesting distribution out there to follow. Most of the GNU/Linux development happens there thanks to Red Hat. Many cool technologies are first adopted by it like PulseAudio and systemd. Then there are stuff that as far as I know are not yet used anywhere else like firewalled and tuned. It will probably be the first to adopt printed and other next generation technologies in Linux desktop too. If I'm not mistaken they do not patch software as much as Debian/Ubuntu do and subit all(?) their patches to upstream. So all in all it's very cool distribution.
