This feature proposes that Fedora switch the default desktop interface from
Gnome 3 to Cinnamon. Cinnamon provides a desktop interface that is more
familiar to Windows and Gnome 2 users than the standard Gnome Shell interface,
while being built from Gnome 3 components.

Though I certainly would welcome Fedora to switch away from Gnome3 as default desktop, I do not see much sense in switching to Cinnamon, because Cinnamon is too similar to Gnome3.

Instead, I'd propose Fedora to switch away from having *any* default GUI and offer Fedora users an equal choice between all different major DE Fedora ships (e.g. Gnome3, Cinnamon, MATE, KDE. xfce ...)

That's the only right and correct way forward and then this "default" *DE dispute can finally be put to rest...
