I got you. It's a legitimate questions. I'd second Geof's report after using Ubunut for the last 4 years or so. I've been using Debian for ten years before I switched and still have some seconds thoughts some times, or just for a second even think about using Fedora. Any other word I have to say will just repeat what Geof wrote. I switched because I just wanted a desktop distro which will let me get on with my work (administrating the company's CentOS servers and doing tons of e-mails and documentation work), and generally I get it from Ubuntu. As for "platform for developers" - I think you should consider the target platform of their developed software - would they need access to a specific distro/platform/compiler-version/interpreter-version/... or are they completely agnostic? How would they use it? (in the office connected to back-end servers, stand-alone)? What specific tools would they need? What hardware would they need to be supported?
