It is true that a recent Solaris 10 CDE patch added a notice that CDE is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the system. Therefore I recently took the plunge into Gnome on Solaris. Unfortunately, there are some things that CDE does considerably better than Gnome. I expect that companies in the financial markets (i.e. "Wall Street") are using CDE quite heavily on Solaris to support this mission critical application and will not be happy with Gnome as it exists today. I used CDE since it was introduced and don't recall that it ever crashed on me but Solaris 10 Gnome components crash if you breath on them (especially the Gnome Panel and Nautilus). The Solaris Desktop still does not provide a usable stand-alone calendar program to replace the fantastic one that comes with CDE.
