I do suggest TiddlyDesktop (TD) be highlighted in some way. There are simply too many options to choose from for a new user. For a user choosing single file, I would go so far as to say that there should be only two options presented. One for local usage (TD), one for online, with everything else hidden away in a "explore more options" section.
I've tried various ways of introducing people to TW since the days of TWC, but the smoothest and most successful by far (since native saving in browsers went away) has been to ask them to download TD, and then "Create new wiki". Saving etc, all works well, and it is similar to the "application" and "new document" paradigm that people are used to. I think that makes for an excellent entry point on desktop where users can start using and saving as quickly as possible in a familiar manner, and users wishing for more flexibility can then choose to look into how to use a regular browser and other saving methods. I agree with Riz, that from the point of view of a new end-user, promoting the download saver as the first choice seems illogical.
