Have you reported the bug in the Fedora bug system?

You can install both environments on the same machine side by side and
switch between them to test them both for yourself. "yum groupinstall
xfce-desktop" will give you the defaults and you should be able to
then select the one you wish to use at the login prompt. Alternatively
you could test a live image.
