tastes differ, as far as I know, there were some words said here from an insider that gOS 3 would come in "multiple variants", and that one of these would NOT be based on GNOME, but on a lighter windows manager, and specifically geared toward the low-end netbooks. Not much more about this is known yet, but I think I remember that it wouldn't be based on Enlightenment but on an even more light-weight Window- manager.
