GNOME 3 Wins Linux Journal's Readers' Choice Award

msevior writes "Although Linus Torvalds and some Slashdot commentators may disagree, GNOME 3 has many admirers. GNOME 3 was awarded the Linux Journal Readers' Choice award for 2011." Though I'm one of the complainers, I hope to be converted with the help of Gnome Shell extensions.

    I never understood why someone would use Gnome over KDE anyway. Gnome always felt kind of a toy or candy interface. All the windows were full of useless spacing and the style just gave it sort of a broken feeling. Like the apps would be incomplete or in debug state when programmers just throw controls and finish the interface later. I always liked KDE much more, it was way more professional. Still, both suffered (and still do) from crappy and blurry font rendering and kind of slow interface. Linux interfaces have never felt exactly as quick as Windows. I don't know if its some driver issue or something, but Firefox and XUL suffer from the same issue even on Windows.
