I have found fedora to be the just works distro as long as you pick the right hardware to start. A dell XPS + fedora has been the most productive setup I have ever had.

I tend to just use the Dell XPS with Ubuntu preinstalled: hardware-related things really do just work.

For everything else I have Emacs :-)

Yeah, Dell XPS + Fedora works great together. I actually started to use Bluetooth with Dell. It just works.

Second this, and add 'every thinkpad I've ever owned' to your hardware caveat.

My coworkers are leaning towards dell+fedora since every one at the company who has got one of the newer macbooks has had the keyboard fail repeatedly.
