That really makes no sense. Neither part of it. The fact that someone
knows about options available has nothing to do with whether he/she
should care about what is the default in the distribution and users
who don't even know what the choices are surely can't have much of an
opinion about the matter.
It appears you misunderstood what I said or perhaps I was answering a question different from what you wanted to know. What I was trying to convey is that If I am as an user unaware of other desktop environments, the defaults impact my experience a lot more than if I already know of the choices and have picked something that matches my preferences. The moment I pick something else, I have satisfied my need and the argument about defaults should really be considered in a more objective way than just as an _expression_ of my preferences
Users can care about the distribution and have opinions about how it
should be presented. And those creating the distribution should pay
attention to them.
