Your opinion. Not relevant.

Well, sure (though this is notoriously fragile across applications and
toolkits). It's completely irrelevant to the single-click / double-click
argument, though. I have no idea why you brought it up.

Well, good for you, set your preferences how you like. I merely
presented a perfectly valid point against your original point, one your
response does nothing to refute. Personally I use GNOME because I like
the framework and see great things happening for 2.2, and most of my
favourite apps are GNOME / GTK apps (Evolution, Gaim, Galeon) so it
makes sense. If you have a problem with that, it's just that - your
problem. Not mine.
