At least for Windows 8, neither Cinnamon is close to its desktop
interface.

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

Innovative.

"Innovative" or "deevolutionary", "boring", or just plain "annoying"? They can all be used in different ways. What you might consider "innovative" a lot of people consider annoying.

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.

Maybe it should be something like "defaultless" desktop. Just install Gnome and display desktop ballot screen "Yes, we know that Gnome 3 sucks for 85% of population. Here you got an alternatives."
