In _my_ box Gnome performs better (Duron 900Mhz). KDE is okay. I don't think that performance is a deciding factor here. > > 2. Efficiency > > Define efficiency. Agreed. Please define efficiency.

I've used both KDE and Gnome a lot, and I always find myself going back to Gnome. I get the impression that most people find KDE easier, but I personally find Gnome easier. I remember in more than one occasion struggling to do something in one which was easy on the other (it's been both ways). But these thins are the exception, not the rule. I _my_ opinion, KDE looks more like Windows. No offence intended, I recognize that KDE is _far_ superior. I'm not saying that it looks like Windows. I'm saying that, compared to Gnome, *MY* opinion is that it looks *comparatively* more like Windows. You might notice some Mac influence in Gnome. Both are excellent desktops. I perfer Gnome. > > 5.

The applications I want are mostly Gnome/Gtk applications. They look more in-place in Gnome. I prefer to program in Gtk than Qt. Things like that. -- Daniel Carrera Graduate Teaching Assistant.
