Re: [Bitcoin-development] Proposal: MultiBit as default desktop client on bitcoin.org

There are already descriptions as you describe on:
http://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet. 

If you hover over any of the wallet icons you get a description and a

People being people, we find in practice that the very first wallet link 
on the page is what the majority of new users click.
