FWIW, I prefer newsgroups and thus use gmane.org to follow most of my |
| 10 |
mailing lists as newsgroups. Couple that with news profiles that pan |
| 11 |
(the main gtk app I still use) remembers per group, and I don't have to |
| 12 |
worry about using the wrong address. Of course, news has always been |
| 13 |
somewhat obscure, unlike mail, so it's not a solution for everyone, but |
| 14 |
it works for me. =8^) |

That was always my feeling too. GNOME 1 had some promise, just as KDE 2 |
| 29 |
did, but GNOME 2 went one way and KDE 3 went another... and I preferred |
| 30 |
KDE. KDE 4 has yet to prove itself either way. At minimum, they botched |
| 31 |
the rollout there. While I'll often run bleeding edge betas, 4.0 was |
| 32 |
early alpha, there were simply too many missing features to be usable |
| 33 |
here. 4.1 is supposed to be much better. I'll see, when it comes out. |
| 34 |
I still believe they'll get there, but given 4.0, I'm not at all sure |
| 35 |
about 4.1. It may well be 4.2 or even 4.3 before it's actually worth |
| 36 |
switching from 3.5.x for me. |
