<div dir="ltr">Can't we simply re-organize the fedoraproject website in such way that the download button points to something similar to the current "More options" page, maybe with a small description for each desktop like "easy to use" / "feature rich and customizable" / "based on the traditional desktop" / etc and possibly sorted by popularity, i.e. number of downloads?<br>

At least for Windows 8, neither Cinnamon is close to its desktop<br>

Exactly. There is no way to know that. So I see no real reason to change<br>
our default desktop.<br>
Even if we consider Gnome 3 as a "research" (which I don't), Fedora is<br>

True. Or others might consider it productive. Same goes for all Desktop environments. That's why I said that I see no real argument here for changing our default desktop.
