No, I don't think so. One of the main points of Linux is having choices, and the sooner the new user realizes that, the better.
The key to sensible choices is relevant information. We (the Linux community) don't provide the kind of information people need to choose between the various desktop offerings. Presenting a choice in these circumstances is the same as making a random selection for them. The statements about "this (or that) desktop is better" are incomplete and misleading. They are better for particular purposes. KDE is "better" because it is more similar to Windows is a sensible statement which can be both verified and understood. xfce is "better" because it is lightweight and runs faster on machines with fewer resources (i.e. older machines) is also a useful (and verifiable) statement. I don't know much about Gnome so can't make similar statements about it. Lets get away from personal preferences and start saying things which help others, especially naive users.
