More Bloat on the most Bloated desktop environment available!
And just when I thought that my computer was getting too fast, it's a good thing the GNOME project is here to waste my unneeded clock cycles!
I got bitchslapped by cmdrtaco and friends to -1 article posts...so now i just troll anonymously!
w00t anti-aliasing and international support....that's something that's been available since WIndows 98!!!

It seems to me that you are the one that is retarded. When I install MS office, I just click on one executable and there it goes. I do not download the hunder of separate "components" that make it up.
Note, the correct moderation score for this is score 5, informative! Anything else is a LIE!
I have tried both KDE and Gnome and here is my opinion! Feel free to flame me if you want but im not a troll and i like linux a lot!. Gnome is bloated shit and is very BUGGY! it is also out of date and UGLY! Its is the slowest thing EVER MADE! Ever tried to run nautilus? You better press ctrl alt F1 instead for a REAL file manager because this is slow crap and there are many better alternatives!
KDE is smaller in terms of packages (about 80 mbs in rpms compared to about 200 for gnome). It takes slightly longer to start up but it IS MUCH FASTER aferterwards. Konqueror is a kick ASS FILE MANAGER and its freaking fast as well as an excellent web browser. KDE is ultra sexy or you can configure it to be plain too. Gnome is just plain ugly like motif and win 3.1 yuck *(!
Conclusion
KDE 85%
Gnome 20 %
Only speed could make kde better although its quite fast now, gnome requires you to have a SUPERCOMPUTER to get nautilus running fast enough!
