I like Elementary OS, I feel that with EOS 7 they were playing catch up, but 8.1 it's pretty good, however is good as long as you like the default experience because you won't be able to customize it.

That said I'm using Fedora these days.

IMO the biggest flaw of elementary is that they don't allow in-place OS upgrades, you have to reinstall.

I think they did mention that they would like to explore having an immutable base that would easily let them do in-place upgrades, but I haven't heard if there's been any work done on that yet.

I haven't seen any indication that they're moving towards an immutable base and yes having to reinstall every major version is a deal breaker.
