It's default for the Fedora Desktop Edition and probably a couple spins, but there are others as well. Recently I downloaded Security Spin and to my amazement I noticed it uses LXDE which I previously thought was inferior to the rest... It was a pleasant surprise though. As a gnome-shell disliker I'd be happy if design suite used a different DE but I can live with either. I think the proper train of though should be: 1. Are most apps gtk or qt based? If qt, go for KDE/KDM. 2. Are they gtk3 or gtk2? If gtk2, go with XFCE/LightDM. 3. Do we prefer classical desktop environment, or gnome-shell? If gnome-shell go with GNOME/GDM. 4. Do we need all the functions of gnome, or is a smaller set enough? If smaller set suffices, go for LXDE/LXDM?, if not, go for MATE/GDM?. I hope I didn't missed anything. As for some of the questions raised: for web-browser and mail client I'd suggest either: a) firefox/thunderbird (both XUL based) b) midori/claws (which is what I use) c) epiphany/evolution (GNOME defaults IIRC) d) konqueror/kmail (KDE defaults IIRC) for non-linear video editing, pitivi is a good choice.
