So:

(1) Would a KDE app run faster directly under KDE than in Gnome?

(2) Why not design all apps like Netscape so they are
non-desktop-manager-specific?

(3) Are both KDE and Gnome equally "active" as far as support and on-going
development and enthusiasm goes?

(4) Are there KDE/Gnome warz, or are both groups of developers cooperative
with each other?

(5) Which is better? :-)
