Agreed. GNOME drives me to distraction, but apparently some folks like |
| 11 |
it. Variety is what FLOSS is good at, so let's celebrate the |
| 12 |
differences, and be glad there remains the choice. =8^) |

Another way to look at it is that all the devs that like the dumbed down |
| 15 |
interface will be attracted to GNOME, leaving KDE in less danger of |
| 16 |
having them come in and try to dumb it down too. Of course the reverse |
| 17 |
is true as well, the folks that like to have everything customizable will |
| 18 |
be attracted to KDE, leaving the GNOME folks in relative peace to do it |
| 19 |
their way. As long as the GNOME folks stay there and don't try to dumb |
| 20 |
down KDE, I'm happy, and I'm sure many GNOME users say the same about KDE |
| 21 |
devs and "needless complexity". |
