I'll bite the troll here ;-) Gnome is a good environment for experienced Linux people, but it lacks a lot of polish for people coming from the Windows world. Take the file dialog for example. Tell some corporate users they have to save everything on the file server, in /mnt/corporate. They'll have to click on the ".." entry, then they'll get in /home and see all the users, be confused, and maybe they'll try .. again and then click on /mnt and then click on /corporate and finally save their stuff at the right place. Then look at the KDE file dialog, at the left, you have a nice place where people can make their shortcuts. Put it in the system wide configuration, and every user will have a FILESERVER icon that they can use easily. Take gnome-ppp versus kppp. gnome-ppp insists on a MRU of 296, and even if you change the settings, it doesn't use them, the 296 value is hard-coded into the gnome-ppp binary. This breaks EarthLink, who will not accept 296 as a valid MRU (that 296 value was valid when everyone was using 9600 modems BTW). It's little things, but all these little things add up...
