You have to make your own choice between 'stable and well tested' and 'new with the latest features'. You can't have both at the same time and different distributions choose different balances. If you'll lose a lot of money over a few minutes of downtime, go with 'well tested', but there are places where it is appropriate to run newer code and if nobody did, it would never advance to 'well tested'.
I run Fedora and Ubuntu in virtual machines hosted on CentOS :)... Best of both worlds.. The stable system underneath, and the don't blink or you'll miss a release distros in virtuals. I use Fedora and Ubuntu for various photography and text applications.
