If you try to talk about this on devel you're open to getting called a
power-user and trying to impose your view on the hapless users. If you
try to talk about it here you're open to not getting heard. Which is
why I'd encourage people to look at the spins to see if any fit their
needs better.

I am very skeptical that users here can really form any sort of consensus. There seems to a wide variety of strong preferences. However trying out spins and deciding for yourself what you might want is indeed a good idea. Note that there are several desktop environments and window managers that don't have their own dedicated spins however.
