Whatever file browser is chosen, please include the damn up button, and please no buttons replacing the address bar. Also, PLEASE 'open terminal here' as a default option on right click.
As for IDE, it'd be really cool to have Arduino included, but some might consider that spamware ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'd rather have a quizz at first install and user account creation that would ask what users want with sane defaults hiding behind an `I don't know` checkbox (ie: don't configure any mail client if people just use GMail). It would definitely ease the adoption from first users instead of throwing a huge pile of shortcuts to their face when they click the apps menu for the first time.
I would also make it very easy to do the most common first things users do: opening an image, browsing the web, playing music. Don't send them to players/viewers with different UI than the rest of the workspace or ask them what pic viewer they want to use among 4 different apps. First impressions matters :).

Same but vlc for videos
VLC is indeed superior in comparison with Totem but it does not integrate nicely into GNOME as Totem would. MPV is also a very capable player. There is even an GTK frontend which obeys GNOME HIG and which is called gnome-mpv[0]. Maybe it would be a nice pick for the default video player. [0] https://github.com/gnome-mpv/gnome-mpv
mpv --no-border --autofit-larger=320x200 --loop=inf --volume=60 foo.mp4
(It's possible that VLC lets you do both of these, of course.)
