While it is good that there is research
into new user interface concepts, many users prefer to have a traditional
interface that they are accustomed to. Unfortunately it is difficult or
impossible to assess what fraction of the user base prefers Gnome Shell vs. a

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.
