Am citit si eu articolul ala si este un mare absolut CRAP (da, intentionat cu litere mari). Cum altfel poti numi o "recenzie" (intre ghilimele) care trage concluzii asupra unui intreg mediu utilizator numai din perspectiva managerului de fisiere ? Acum sa le luam la rand: "GNOME grew out of the desire to free people from Microsoft's ability to dictate what users can or can't do." Error. Gnome a crescut pentru ca unora nu le-a placut o licenta (a qt-ului) precum si faptul ca numitul KDE se baza pe C++. "Yet GNOME is built on the premise that its developers are so much wiser than users when it comes to navigating folders and setting colors that GNOME users shouldn't have a choice in the matter." Hmm, ma intreb de unde a scos-o si pe asta. GNOME a fost scris cu niste studii de "usability" foarte serioase in mana. Si nu ma refer la "usability" pentru "power users", ci pentru utilizatorul obisnuit care se pune in fata calculatorului. "With an attitude like that, heaven help us if GNOME turns out to be the only defense Linux has on the desktop against a Microsoft hegemony." Pai sa se hotarasca, ori e de cacat, ori e "the only defense". Daca prima e adevarata, ok, sa nu-l foloseasca si sa se intoarca la numitul KDE pe care il ridica in slavi in alte articole (no problem with that). Daca a doua e adevarata, unde a disparut KDE & co ? -- Cioby --- Detalii despre listele noastre de mail: http://www.lug.ro/
