Can you give a few examples, please? I've been using Fedora as my primary home and work OS, since v14 and was gradually upgrading it and so far I never needed to compile anything.

Example:

Instead of having to compile software like Atom in every computer I own, I could just add a PPA repository and then install and update Atom (assuming the PPA remains maintained). It's not just Atom though, other software as well isn't as easily found on Fedora as it would be on the Ubuntu / Debian ecosystem.
