eWeek Reviews Gnome 2.8 And KDE 3.3

Posted by timothy on from the cross-*nix dept.

prostoalex writes "eWeek Labs reviewed the latest editions of GNOME and KDE desktop environments, and for all the criteria that eWeek uses for evaluating the software products ranked 'good,' while usability, capability and reliability for both products ranked 'excellent.' The online version is missing the screenshots and ranking tables that the printed version has, but eWeek likes Evolution (for mail), Konqueror (for file management), Samba and Kopete. They dislike GConf (still complex and a hassle to use) on GNOME and KMail on KDE."

    Just looking at the screenshots, I'd definitely choose KDE, it simply looks so much better.

    Is there a reason why people use Gnome?
