Ah, but you're talking about Slashdotters bitching. Those people are just that: Slashdot flamers. They're not the developers behind GNOME and GTK+.
You are correct, and I didn't make that point very clearly. I'm not criticizing the GNOME developers for not breaking backward compatability. I'm criticizing the/. community for having a double standard as it pertains to projects like this. Sorry for the confusion.

I do agree that Slashdotters have a double standard. This goes for pro/anti-MSness too. Have you noticed that most of the post that say "Slashdot always mods anti-MS comments down and pro-Linux comments up! I will get moderated down for saying this!" always get modded *up*? Slashdot isn't even an anti-MS pro-Linux site anymore.

heh.. i like that reference to a 'real computer' like a G5.
Lets take a look at what pricewatch has to say.
Hmm.. the cheapest G5 I can find is the low low price of $1900!
Now, lets see what kind of PC processor power I can buy with $1900.
Oh look.. $1057 Opteron 246 with cpu, fan
And for only a little more, I can get a dual motherboard, and another cpu at: $799 - Opteron 246
Yeah... I know how slow gnome goes on the highest end dual opteron processors!!!

All your OS are belong to Mac. ;)
