In my experience, the person doing the teaching has a big impact on
what new users find easier. I showed my mother and father how to you the
KDE SuSE desktop and they were both happy users. My brother showed my
sister how to use the Windows desktop and she was a happy user. All
proclaim that their desktop is the easier, but I'm pretty sure that if my
brother and I had swapped groups the "better desktop" verdit would have
been swapped too.
You are correct that people find what they know easier. But, at the
end of the day, most users don't really care what desktop you give them,
as long as they are able to easily do what they want.
