I have to disagree with you on all points. First I have been using linux for 8 years now. I started with fwmv2 (?), then AfterStep, then Windowmaker (still owns my heart), then enlightenment, then GNOME, and now KDE. KDE rocks! KDE is easier to use then GNOME, easier to configure, and (except for the panel and menus) looks better than GNOME. I don't knock GNOME. I hate the fact that some people in the Linux community want to start flame wars over which is better. GNOME has its good points. Before the release of KDE 3.x, GNOME was much faster. Now KDE wipes the floor with GNOME on speed even with the eye candy (yes KDE has a lot of it) turned on. GNOME used to be better than KDE. What the hell happened to it (GNOME)? What happen to the busycursor, why is GNOME so damn hard to configure sometimes (ever tried to fix the icon spacing problem?)? GNOME seems to be lagging behind since it went corporate. Yes, that right, GNOME is now corporate. Who what have thought that would happen. I thought KDE was suppose to be the one that would ruin it for open source. Remember the QT licensing scare? Linux is suppose to be getting easier and easier to use and look better and better while still maintaining a high level of security (unlike windows) yet GNOME seems to be getting harder and harder to use and remains just as bland as it looked during version 1.x. Whatever you say about KDE, it has gotten easier to use, faster, more stable, and the developers seem to add all the good thing you like about Windows, Macintosh, and Next. Maybe one day KDM, Konqueror, and the kicker will look as good as GDM, Nautilus and the gnome-panel. Everything else in KDE seems to have surpassed its GNOME counterparts. Hopefully the GNOME guys will get back on the ball.
