i don't understand why it is important what desktop manager some kernel
developer uses (I'm understating, atm, i know). I use what I like and what
some other person uses doesn't matter to me and i don't understand why it
should to anyone else.

From this perspective, the number of users is the best metric.
I guess you should be using Windows, then?

I would say kde4 was the vista of kde. To many changes and to much
flair pushed on people with no real classic mode. I got kde4 working
90% the way I wanted but there were still some things that I would
look cross eyed at.

I still like the lighter weight WMs over either
Gnome or KDE, though I understand their "out of the box" appeal. I used
to use Openbox when I was running Gentoo back in the day and it was
amazing. When I switched to Ubuntu it came with Gnome, and since I was
already a lazy Linux user by then
Top-posting 'cuz you did...
I was very happy with KDE. Everything tied together, and it all felt
very integrated. But then I sort of got bored of it.
Such tight integration can get to be suffocating. And it just feels
weird when you start to use apps that don't quite fit in, like
Thunderbird

I was a kde user and still like and use a lot of kde apps. I fought
the gnome thing because I didn't like the feel and noo need to mess
with it when I have kde. Well after the ubuntu 8.10 presentation I
noticed I was missing several of ubuntus toys that didn't get rolled
in to kubuntu so I decided

James, there are a lot of clear advantages to using the Ubuntu
distro. For starters its far more stable than Kubuntu.
I used to be a Kubuntu guy, but I just gave into Ubuntu, its the
easiest way for me to run Linux, plus its an easy sell to a manager,
etc. Even though we all value choice,
this is the reality of the computing world really. technology does not
exist for its own sake, but for the sake of supplying the need.
windows linux apple OS2 wichever if it pisses people off it fails.
Overall people really dont want to invest a horrible amount of time
into making something work
