Battling with some of those folks suggests that they remove any
feature
which has the tinyest possibility of confusing the least knowledgable. Goodness knows why you can't have "advanced" configuration dialogs to change some of their braindead defaults (if there is an option, it's usually hidden in that gconf disaster, but usually they hard code in
the
crap).
I gave up several years ago with gnome (also see the discussion
between
gnome and linus), and have been pretty happy with kde since. I still
have
to face that shockingly bad gtk/gnome file dialog box when using
firefox
though :-(
I used KDE briefly on my SuSE Linux at home, but it kept the CPU so busy that everything ran slower than <you know what>. I'm not seeing that problem with gnome, here at work (CentOS 4.4+) or at home (still SuSE until I put in the new Mobo/Mem/Video). Has that changed, or is KDE still a CPU/GPU hog?
Thanks.
