GNOME is stable and easy to use, but I'm missing some KDE comfort. GNOME don't need much more CPU resources than Fluxbox does, Ion really needs less CPU resources. There is a theme for 64 Studio's GNOME I'm fine with and it was easy to change from double to single clicks. I like to have a small install media download too, because I will blow up my Linux by repositories and not by the install media. GNOME for me is the happy medium. I don't give a damm on what a Shuttleworth project does, but GNOME seems to be the best choice for everyone. I guess KWin/KDE and Fluxbox are often used WM/DEs, so if people get troubles with installing them for 64 Studio, the list and the forums can help. It's better we have as soon as possible a new 64 Studio, maybe with some new audio apps,instead of including a new WM/DE. I'm not a GNOME fan too, but I can live with GNOME, there are other problems I've got. Anyway, if most people prefer something like Fluxbox, this will be a reason to include it. 64 Studio should take care of a braille able installer.
