So who is the target audience, if you don't mind my asking? Because from my perspective, I am someone who likes the idea of Linux and is not afraid to get his hands dirty, but at the same time is generally disappointed with most Linux distros insofar as their GUIs usually feel like an afterthought. So something with a nice frontend but the ability to nonetheless tinker and throw up a terminal when I need to sounds ideal. That is the attractive element of ElementaryOS, to me: an attractive frontend and a Linux backend. I could always go for Cinnamon Mint, I guess, but eOS certainly did seem to buck the trend as far as distros go. The idea of the easy-to-use "just works" setup for the non-tinkerers, on the other hand, starts to resemble Apple; unfortunately, I don't think you can out-Apple Apple. That's their thing. The "stunning," almost condescendingly simple GUI that people "not good with computers" flock to. It's almost as though your target audience is my mother, or the people on whose behalf I will install this OS onto their aging desktop/laptop because they found re-learning Windows 8.1/10 too confusing.
