Having a default interface that would look similar on all linux distributions - would be an excellent counter-weight to the ubiquitous Windows interface - and as users became more familiar over time they could experiment beyond the default:
1. A similar default look on a debian and a red hat system - works pretty well.
2. Red Hat has also tried to get Gnome and KDE to look similar on their default Bluecurve
I like the power of the command line - but find clicking boxes now and then has it's advantages: e.g. networking, web surfing etc.
I do not have much difficulty adjusting to various KDE and Gnome desktops, and find it interesting to discover how to do similar things in different ways.
But the seridipity of discovering new things as we try to do old things, could wear heavily on new linux users?
