I am so delighted to realize that at last there exists a desktop environment that can make me feel working on a unified and integrated environment, but not on a bunch of small unrelated pieces putting together (I'm talking about GNOME). I have to say I'm annoyed by GNOME, due to the fact that each program has its own ways of displaying, they can't even agree on how to display Yes/No/Quit dialog, on some program the "Yes" button is on the left, on some other the "Yes" button is on the right and it *is* frustrating to me.
Enough with GNOME rant. I think with 4.2.0 they got it right. Programs rarely crash (they still do), bluetooth is implemented, the taskbar works, and I have a real desktop, not a lame "dashboard" with a "folder view" aka the desktop folder. Fonts rendering is so pleased to the eyes, ways better than which is in Windows XP and Vista and even MacOS. The only missing piece is performance, but I think I can live with it (and yes, I'm using Intel GMA so don't blame proprietary drivers, in fact, nVidia driver works better in this case.) Now KDE, please give up KHTML and go with WebKit, and I will be sold.
