Rationale Behind Latest As Default Homepage View

A traditional forum landing page shows most recent topics beneath a number of main category headings, so it’s a combination of the two views that allows users to easily see what’s recent in the section(s) they care about. The dichotomy we’re talking about is imposed by Discourse.

Er.. What? This is not true at all, the Discourse category page also shows recent topics in each category.
