Yup. I just had a 2-week fling with KDE. *Really* configurable (thank $DEITY, because their defaults suck), but KDE 3.5.8 is a lot slower than even GNOME 2.14 and the KDE versions of the apps (mail, web browsing, usenet reading, stargazing, listening to music) which I use the most are either not as fully functional or work in a radically different manner than which I am used to using. IMO, GNOME/Gtk apps seem to feel[*] like Windows apps. Some will think that's Bad, but because I need to have a Windows PC right next to my Linux box, that's a Good Thing. If GNOME had a more complete and full-featured "control center" and Miguel de Icaza didn't have his ass half-way up Bill Gates' ass, it would be the perfect DE for someone who wants to *use* a computer instead of constantly fiddle with it. [*] Except that GNOME/Gtk apps know how to multi-thread, and don't crash. - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA "Your mistletoe is no match for my TOW missile."
