I'm enthralled with FC3 as well. *snip* The problems I do have are application specific -- gnomad2 doesn't do everything that I would like, so I still hook my Zen Nomad MP3 player up to my Windows box from time to time, for example. Otherwise, no problems.
I'm also very happy with fc3 - the only tweaking I've really done is to update the gstreamer and gstreamer-plugins and totem - and add some additional gstreamer plugins. Totem now (as of the 0.100 release) plays my DVD's very well (I haven't tried a TV series that needs menus yet though)
Last time I was so incredibly impressed with a particular distro was probably Linux PPC 1999.
Upcoming fc4 is thus very exciting because all I will likely need to do is add the patent problem gstreamer plugins - and multimedia things will just work.
The only thing that I would consider not working is that my iPod mini is not *always* detected when plugged in (replugging triggers it though) and displays the "do not disconnect" message even when not mounted, though disconnecting it is fine. I suspect *something* is polling it causing it to think it is mounted. But that's just a minor detail. (this happens btw even with the hal daemon killed, so it's not hal's fault)
