Disagree. His statement is very clear. I guess everyone who has followed the development of G3 is well aware of the - let's say - disagreements that have poped up continuously. If you are asking for another flame war, you can have it. > > Of course I have no real numbers!

So what do you want to say? I guess a simple "google-that-for-me" should show you thousands of flame-war like threads, blogs, whatever discussing the (de-)merits of G3. Now, tell me something similar from XFCE? And finally, let me know he is discussing *personal* opinions?
