I almost hate to get involved in this discussion but here goes. I love KDE because it is USEABLE. Gnome is NOT. The gnome developers may know how to program. The system seems very stable. BUT, the usability factor is AWFUL. I almost welcome this change and hope it will help put some of SuSE's great usability features into gnome although I doubt it. RedHat has been using it since I can remember (version 5.2) and it still has the same basic lousy usability as it did then. I was just watching a video about Blender on the net and the person giving the presentation mentioned how he used Photoshop when someone asked him why he didn't use The GIMP. He replied that The GIMP is a great program but it has a terrible interface (along with the rest of gnome in my opinion). No one will stay with Linux longer than a day if the gnome desktop is what they have compared to M$. Like it or not, Microsoft knows usability even if they can't design a stable system and for the majority of PC users that is ALL that matters to them. Just my two cents. Again hope this change can help great programs become useable for the average PC user (the one who is used to the only thing they know, M$, good or not).
