Yup, and you are tied to the GUI that you get shipped with it. With X you can run any window manager that you damn well please, and there are lots of them. You can configure the desktop the way YOU want it, rather than the way that someone else told you to like. I would say that the inferiority lies in something that is unchangable. You don't even have to run X/desktop/GUI/whatever with linux, thereby giving you a system that also takes less resources if you don't need graphics. Linux will always be inferior as it doesn't come with a GUI as standard and is only as an add on. We moved away from a separate GUI shell when we ditched Win3.1. I suggest you lot should do the same or be left in the past Oh yeah, I forgot that MS products are the wave of the future.:)0
Have you heard of Cygnus Solutions? This sounds very much like them when they started out. Granted, they started working on gcc, gdb, binutils and such, but it sounds like the same concept. I think what they are doing is a damn good idea, and it should help progress it quickly.
Besides that, I personally think it looks good, works well, and is going to be around for a while. Lots of new applications are coming out every day that are designed to integrated with gnome from the ground up.
