[CentOS] is CentOS stable enough ?

hello to all,

i am a newbie to CentOS. for my project work i need to have RHEL. so i searched Google for Open alternatives and found CentOS to be most popular.

i have used Fedora, the base of RHEL and CentOS. Fedora is the one of the most buggy *NIX distro i have ever seen. since Fedora is the base of RHEL which is the base of CentOS, i just want to know whether CentOS is stable and reliable enough to work with. i will use CentOS primarily for developing softwares and also for watching Bruce Lee's movies ;-)

NOTE: please do not take my email is as offense, to be true to you, Fedora just sucks :-(
