Has it become usable again?
Not sure, I don't use Fedora, I use CentOS on my servers and Linux Mint on my desk and laptop's.
I use F12 on my laptop. I have to say it runs very well (definite improvement from F10 and previous). I also use it for my netbook (with a few tweaks) and everything is fine.. No fires or explosions to report of :)
I'll chime in. Fedora 12 seems well behaved running as a (64-bit) VM running on a CentOS 5 host.
We use F12 headless, so I can't comment on desktop issues, but I really like the deltarpm stuff. It really cuts down on bandwidth requirements on a frequently updated distro like Fedora.
A lot of the work after Fedora 6 seemed to revolve around making single-user desktop type access more convenient at the expense of more general purpose server concepts - and making it boot quickly which isn't a big priority on boxes that run all the time. And some things even when not technically broken were annoying, like if a user logs in at the console keyboard it would kill the audio output being controlled by a remote user.
