At least for Windows 8, neither Cinnamon is close to its desktop

Exactly. There is no way to know that. So I see no real reason to change
our default desktop.
Even if we consider Gnome 3 as a "research" (which I don't), Fedora is

Innovative.
"Innovative" or "deevolutionary", "boring", or just plain "annoying"? They can all be used in different ways. What you might consider "innovative" a lot of people consider annoying.
