Like KDE? It would be a lot more complex. I would fear giving KDE for newcomers. It’s basically windows 98, but with frosty glass themes, fragmented apps.
Or Cinnamon? You upgraded to windows XP. Congratulations.
Deepin? Looks cool until you try to use it.
Xfce? That’s stable and fast. But would you advertise Linux as that outdated?
Cosmic, still early.
Budgie, maybe.
I really think gnome is the best default.
Nevertheless, It’s you mixing intuitive and familiar. Moreover, people who give Linux a trial, they wish for something different. And they really like Gnome from my experience.

Says who? I think most people who give Linux a trial, they wish for Windows, but without the all the bullshit.
What I’m afraid of is newbies who get Gnome as the default without knowing any better, without even knowing what a DE is or that there’s more than one. And when they find it weird and difficult to learn, they’re not going to think, “Gnome is weird and difficult to learn, I should try a different DE.” – they’re going to think, “Linux is weird and difficult to learn, I should go back to Windows.”
I think you have to learn, but I don’t think it’s difficult to learn. As I said I find it intuitive. My mum could learn it and she is not techy at all. That’s actually a very good example, because she couldn’t print on Windows and now she can with Linux.
