What I don't like about Fedora is its release cycle, forcing you to upgrade every year or so. With Ubuntu I can still be getting updates for a sytem installed four years ago now. I also don't like the lack of many packages inside the official repositories, compared to Canonical's. And lastly, well, I feel a little bit uncomfortable when using their specific tools like, for example, dnf, or their configuration conventions, which differ from that of Debian based distributions. This is a matter of taste, though.

Would RHEL/CentOS not serve a similar purpose to the Ubuntu LTS releases, if a little less suitable for workstation use?

I guess so. I've never used CentOS but it may be somewhat similar, despite being considered more of a server distribution.

CentOS would be more similar to Debian stable
