Variety is what FLOSS is good at, so let's celebrate the differences, and be glad there remains the choice. =8^) Another way to look at it is that all the devs that like the dumbed down interface will be attracted to GNOME, leaving KDE in less danger of having them come in and try to dumb it down too. Of course the reverse is true as well, the folks that like to have everything customizable will be attracted to KDE, leaving the GNOME folks in relative peace to do it their way. As long as the GNOME folks stay there and don't try to dumb down KDE, I'm happy, and I'm sure many GNOME users say the same about KDE devs and "needless complexity". -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
