This involves personal taste. But when talking about "new users" or "not-that-advanced users", I'm really suggesting Gnome 3 to be the choice of the project.
But what are your definitions of „new users”? Someone who has never used Linux before (but maybe Windows and wants to change from his old XP, I don’t think he will like Gnome3)? Or really a new user?
As far as I understand Gnome3 needs more resources than XFCE and modern hardware. The default desktop should be moderate. If you want more eye candy and bells and whistles you can install bigger desktop environments.
As far as I know the installer can’t do a hardware check and switch desktop environemnts fitting to the system.
I know that its size is bigger than Xfce and it takes more resources, but it represents the evolution of a great desktop environment. And it is (and looks like) "today".
No, it’s terrible and keeps you from getting your work done (at least in my case).
As I said before, we can't deny that a lot of people hate changes. But it's part of the process. Each product, when getting big changes, faces it. Windows 8 is a good example.
Yes, Win8 is horrible. But you don’t have to go that far. I know people who refused a new system with Windows 7 because it didn’t work the same way as Windows XP. So they kept the old hardware and the old system.
My mother is using Debian 6 with Gnome 2. I don’t know if I will ever update this system. Gnome 3 is not a solution, and I’m not interested in teaching XFCE.
