    They've been hit badly because the developer of Epiphany is a *major* ass kisser of Havoc Pennington (Red Hat) -- it's hugely embrassing really, watching the brownnoser politics at work. The Epiphany browser is dogshit... literally... it's is unusable for anything real like browsing, and yet Pennington feels the need to put it as a default in RedHat because the developer backs him up on his extremist "no features" jihad.

    Gnome is rapidly becoming a major clusterfuck these days. Which is a shame, because the only other real option is selling yourself to SCO (aka... Trolltech's owner), and subjecting yourself to the full GPL just to write desktop apps, or paying SCO $3000 for every developer.
