No. One default can be better than another.  Even if you take a
subjective approach and take a poll.  You'll get a clear winner ...
subjective as the result may appear, you have a more acceptable art.
It is important to provide a generally accepted winner than a winner
accepted by a few.

Of COurse! I am using gnome-shell and I see the wallpaper all the
time.  Maybe you should preview Gnome3 first
