Let me start out by saying, depending on what you are doing and what are your key applications, Gnome might be good for you. It's an excellent body of work. However, hear are some of the reasons I like KDE, not that all of these ideas are exclusive to KDE: QT. As an engineer involved in embeddded product development, nothing is close to being as cool as QT. QT is a corner stone of KDE, so when I have to drill down into the morass of details concerning display graphics, icons, etc, KDE's affinity for QT is similar, only much more complex, than many of the graphical technologies installed on embedded systems. I believe that the future of GUIs will necessitate that one's desktop environment be at least a cousin to the embedded devices one is responsible for building and managing. QT's future looks bright. JAVA: Unlike many linux folks, I believe that JAVA has a primary role in the future of GUIs, applications, and many other aspects of computing. I like the integration of KDE/QT/JAVA that the kde camps sees and continues to enhance, for example: http://developer.kde.org/language-bindings/java/ Again, I'm not saying you cannot find these equivalents in Gnome, but KDE fits my needs keenly. The real kicker is that KDE 4.0 is suppose to be fantastic. HTH, James -- [email protected] mailing list
