I agree with most points you mentioned, but IMHO Gnome (and KDE) "Start-menus" are a bit better in some respects than their Windows cousin. Most people I know curse the mess Windows Start menu quickly becomes without proper and tiresome "administration". Atleast in Debian and Redhat installed packages add themselves neatly to (usually) correct subfolder category.
That's what I call smart..
If only commercial sw vendors would agree to this..:)
It's ugly and lacks all those cool features you get with OSS counterparts, but it gives me less hassle than to try to install and configure stuff by myself -> I get more real work done.

The "Space Exploration" special edition of Scientific American had some cool ideas howto terraform Mars..
I guess if US stopped wasting money on protecting people from other people, there'd be plenty of funding to make Mars ours!!
