I have to agree with the feature owners who propose simply updating the website to better communicate what the options are, but not actually change anything fundamental about Fedora releases. Although, amusingly, the website basically already does that.
It seems we as an industry just can not help ourselves with constantly nitpicking things that could just be left alone. Gnome has been the default for ages now. Anyone who uses Fedora regularly is aware of the spins, is aware of KDE, and could, or would, use an alternate desktop environment, should they be so inclined to do so.
Changing the default would just create work and not fundamentally solve any problem. Having a robust default out-of-the-box experience is critical, and gnome already provides that.

Anyone who uses Fedora regularly is aware of the spins, is aware of KDE, and could, or would, use an alternate desktop environment, should they be so inclined to do so. On the contrary - anyone already used to Fedora is of course probably used to the spins and can pick whatever they want. But for new users coming from Windows, the defaults are everything, and the default of GNOME is needlessly confusing.
