That is very true. In my opinion there's no reason to change default
or omit this concept. Fedora is _not_ distro for linux newcomers. If
one wants to make fedora more friendly to newbie users, one should
make it way more stable(It not fedora way), start to ship non-free
media codecs(same here) and so on. That's why I think that all
"cinnamon is friendly to newcomers" reasons are not true for fedora,
because fedora itself not friendly to newcomers. And advanced user(as
drago01 says) usually knows what he wants, and he able to click on
"more download options" link.
