Given the choice, this is the option I'd pick.  Of course, if Fedora 
stopped using Gnome shell as the default, we'd probably have to pick a 
different one.  Either that, or force the user to pick at least one DE 
at install time. (If doing a full install; if you're using a LiveCD, you 
get whatever DE it has.)  This step should also provide the user with at 
least a little idea of what each selection provides to help beginners 
make an informed choice, and therein lies a major problem: getting 
honest, neutral, objective descriptions for each possibility that 
include both the advantages and disadvantages of each.  If nothing else, 
they'd have to include hard disk, RAM and graphics requirements so that 
you can judge whether or not your computer has what it takes to run each 
DE properly, and what the consequences are of trying to use it when your 
hardware is, at best, borderline.
