Almost every single package was setup properly, requiring little to no user interaction and leaving little to no room for customization.

That may have changed though, as I haven't touched Fedora in over two years.
This is the Debian way of doing things, the opposite is some distro like Slackware. Therefore we have a 'bunch' of distros and even some BSD forks
