I disagree. I do not think the existence of Cinnamon as yet another
environment does anything to address any of the things  you previously
listed: "Freaks'/nerds' distro", "Ubuntu is much easier", "Fedora
lacks soooo much", "Way too unstable", "Way too short life-cycles." I
view your inclusion of your list as a general angst filled pile-on,
and not constructive for the feature proposal discussion.
