Well, only geeks like you like ugly desktops like rox, icewm,xcfe, ion, etc. The common people like pretty desktops easy to use, like KDE or Gnome.

Yeah and only fools who believe in this "love" shit ever date chicks that think, most people will only go after good looks, nothing else matters.


MOST OF COMPUTER USERS ARENīT GEEKS LIKE YOU, they want to do things as easy as possible, like KDE or Gnome does for them.

Wow man I guess you have your own definition of easy. I think easy means something that I can do with as few steps as possible. I know it is also called efficiency, but aren't less steps to do to also easier to learn? Your seem to think that "windows = easy" -> "more like windows -> easier". Just think a moment about just how long have you been learning how things are done in windows.
When someone invets a better way to do something there are always people like you who say "this is nothing like we're used to, so it's not easy, therefore it's not good", is that progress for you? If people like you would've been telling what's good, you'd still use an abacus to calculate things.
