My two cents...
QGIS download page can follow the GRASS approach where the page detects the
Operating system from where the request is coming and accordingly displays
Windows only Page or Mac Only Page.
In each download page we can have link to download the current version and
in the bottom a link to page which states Download nightlybuilds and LTS
version and another link to other OS's pages.
Are there any stats regarding how many downloads there are of the LTS
version vs. the current version? I'm just guessing, but I also think
that putting the LTS version along with nightly "testing" builds on a
separate page would be a good way to simplify the page.

Just some thoughts,
I think the best way to do things is to make it really easy for *new*
people to find the version they need immediately, and those who are
already using qgis, can click a link or two to get more specific or
more unstable versions. The table is extremely difficult to navigate
(I've just recently be told this by several of my colleagues), and
links to new pages would likely be easier to use. In my opinion,
current version should be right on the download page with links to
windows, linux, and mac right there. Then the LTS version should be a
separate page, with windows, linux, and mac. It would be relatively
easy to also have a 'quick' link which simply downloads the 'Current
Version' for whichever operating system the user is using to access
the page...

Hi,
maybe Werner can have a look and try to improve the website. Do you have
any
suggestions, what we should concentrate on to make it easier to
understand, because we already tried to some time ago (probably not very
successful :() ?

Based on some feedback I've gotten from some users the download pages
are still too complicated and have too many choices. It's not clear to
anyone but advanced and involved users what the right thing to get is.
+1 for me.
Thanks Alex for pointing this out.
All the best.
