E has cool tech, no doubt about it, but I think gnome is a more

E is the perfect match to my needs.. I only have a pretty desktop image,
mozilla seamonkey on a separate desktop, and about one gazillion Eterms
open at various times. window manipulation is wonderful (alt-dragging
windows around by any area is real nice)

ick, just ick :P
gnome
I don't like gnome for one reason, really.. I have been totally unable
to get it to run in a reasonable fashion. ever.
the first time I tried, it would not compile on trustix.
nowadays, it does compile, and there are packages in contrib, but the
packages are poorly built (at least at one time, one needed to install a
ton of -devel packages to get anything running) and I had major issues
starting the desktop (just what command to use?)
then, when I finally got it started up, it decided to use my
enlightenment for window management and I struggled for a good while to
get the "default" gnome wm (is it metacity? .. well, it turned out I
needed to install that too)
gnome may be nicely working on a distro that has it set up and ready to
go from the login manager..
but then we have another little thing about me ... I can only use
Trustix .. I have tried other distros, and they all have stupid faults
that drive me nuts (but I will spare you the details :P)
