It appears you misunderstood what I said or perhaps I was answering a
question different from what you wanted to know. What I was trying to
convey is that If I am as an user unaware of other desktop environments,
the defaults impact my experience a lot more than if I already know of the
choices and have picked something that matches my preferences. The moment
I pick something else, I have satisfied my need and the argument about
defaults should really be considered in a more objective way than just as
an expression of my preferences
Users can care about the distribution and have opinions about how it
should be presented. And those creating the distribution should pay
attention to them.
Setting aside the fact that users list is hardly the place to influence the
choice of defaults and it is entirely offtopic to the purpose of this list,
the idea that users drive the defaults of Fedora doesn't seem to match
reality. If you do want to present a good argument you think is worthy of
consideration, do so via devel list. Hint: I can't stand X, so you
should pick Y because it matches my preferences won't work.
