When Gnome and KDE were new, I used to think I would prefer Gnome for 
the long term, but back then used KDE because it was more stable.

More recently, I've avoided Gnome because it's constantly being dumbed 
down, removing useful features.

For me, it's not an option I would willingly countenance, I personally 
install & use too many Linux computers to feel inclined to go messing 
around getting them all just right. I start with what's closest.

A "run application" option's been in Windows since 3.1 or so that I 
recall; in Windows XP, _I_ the administrator get to choose whether it's 
available to our users, it's not Gates the Vendor who chooses.  That's a 
better way to do it.
