We still get some newcomers complaining that the configuration options are too much for them so we could make a simplified wizard that would address the essentials. This would also perhaps tone down the need for and discussion about flipping defaults. We could have questions such as: > > - how would you like your desktop to be organized?

But even if it pops-out, that's not that unprecedented in the Linux world, XFCE for example asks you for the preferred panel configuration. And you can always add a big SKIP button. I am all for a new user wizard. I have stated this on several of these kinds of threads.
