eWeek Reviews Gnome 2.8 And KDE 3.3
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."
WTF is wrong with you people.
Gnome is almost infinately customizable.
Don't like the spatial interface? Switch it to browsing.
What, is it to difficult?
Spend a half hour with Gnome, change out metacity for something like openbox or some other manager. Modify the behavior of the key combos, modify this, change out that.
You can make it sing and dance for you. It's infinately customizable. If you don't like the default setup, there is nothing making you not change everything.
This GoneME is a waste of time. It's not going to go anywere and it's dead in the water project.
DOA. It was setup by one guy whining, and once people got tired of him and started ignoring him, he setup that website.
No doubt the guy has some skills and whatnot, but I am saying:
Don't hold your breath is all I am saying. Listen to me, I am right.
If you don't beleive me now, check out that website in a years time. I virtually garrentee you that you'll beleive me then.
You never tried.
Granted, it's an article about KDE and Gnome, but where are the MS trolls? :) Sure, MS hasn't offered any real feature improvements since 2001 or so, but that doesn't mean there's no flamebait to be offered. Then again, who would admit to using Exchange (and all but beg to be compromised).
:)
j/k--sorta.
Microsoft has just released their much anticipated hands-free cordless mouse. Warning, it may hurt a little at first.
