Biased why because I work on Firefox? I work on a lot of Open Source
projects.

Thinking and knowing what the best experience for your users is two
different things. I would bet money if you surveyed fedora users they would
pick Firefox and Gnome.

Personally I prefer data over knee jerk reactions because honestly this is
what I see going on. I don't see a demand from users that want a different
default I see developers who want to choose a different default based on
their own beliefs.

If your users want something other than Firefox then give it to them but I
don't see that argument being made.
