This has changed since then -- admittedly, the first Gnome 1.0.x versions
weren't worth the 1.0 (it should've been 0.99.x). But Gnome 1.0.x (x>=50,
aka October Gnome) has been improved drastically. So now it's just a
matter of taste.
I use Gnome all the time (when I don't use text console :-) and it has
given me very few reasons to complain since 1.0.4x.

Netscape -- when not crashing -- tends to be a real hog here with me, both
performance and memory wise. Sad.
