8 I love KDE. It is fully customizable and its code is simply perfect.
9 One thing that I love from KDE (that makes it less "fast") is that is
10 written in C++, that has lots of advantages, for example for code
11 mantaining and so on...
12
13 I use KDE as user and I like to develop for KDE and QT (3 or 4, but 4
14 better ;) ). C++ code is so cute and polished... KDE project is one of
15 the best things I've seen ever (well take a look at another amazing
16 projects like eclipse or openoffice).
17
18 What I don't like from Gnome is that it is like a block. You maybe
19 won't customize it too much.
20
21 Talking as developer, programming for Gnome is simply terrible. C code
22 emulating C++ is just a bad path for creating big things (well... for
23 example in linux kernel we have to use C because we need it to be really
24 fast but for a window manager... I think that we could use C++ and it
25 will run pretty fast).
26
27 I can't notice what speed difference exists between Gnome and KDE.
28 Computers of nowadays can deal with KDE with no problems.
29
30 If you have an old computer the worst thing is that KDE won't work as
31 you'd maybe like to, but maybe Gnome won't too !! And you'll have to
32 install something like blackbox or something similar...
