[ale] KDE/Gnome show of hands?

[James Sumners]

I have a feeling this will become tantamount to a browser war.

At home I am currently using KDE 3.1 just because I want to give it a shot. So
far I am kinda digging it even though there are a couple of things that bug me
about it. I do not like the round about way in which I have to make custom
universal hot keys. I do like how well integrated it is and I firmly believe
that it is the Desktop Environment to set up for Windows refugees. It is much
more newbie friendly than Gnome is.

At work, on my workstation, I am using Gnome 2. About the only thing I like
about it is that it is more friendly to a "power user". Nautilus is complete
crap and will slow a nice system down if you use it to render the desktop.

I really prefer Enlightenment (only using it on my laptop right now). It is
minimalistic which is what I love. I am not using it at home right now because
after about 13 days of uptime I have to restart Enlightenment. I presume there
is a memory leak there some where.

One day I will write all this up in a thorough review including various
distributions and submit it OSNews for everyone to flame me.

I used to be interested in Windows NT, but the more I see of it the more it
looks like traditional Windows with a stabler kernel. I don't find anything
technically interesting there. In my opinion MS is a lot better at making
money than it is at making good operating systems.  -- Linus Torvalds
