[Fsf-friends] KDE vs GNOME war

[Srijit Sreekumar]

the guy was just expressing the views of
tuxmagazine.com<http://tuxmagazine.com>editors. i have read their
magazine and find it quite good, although i do
think that mango's comments on gnome were a little bit overboard. also i
have tried both KDE and Gnome and i prefer KDE. it does not mean that Gnome
is bad, its just my choice. Just like its the magazines choice to print
articles on KDE. its not like there are no articles on Gnome to be found, is
it? The points that they make are based on the usablility on KDE over Gnome,
although i admit i dont have a problem with either of them. since KDE is
given freely with most Linux distros, even Debian has it, i think people are
not that bothered with the non-free software tag that it had, now. i do
agree that KDE is more resource heavy than Gnome, but is that really a valid
point today, in the age of cheap hardware?
<<<
Now if you were a sucker for mindless eye-candy,
choosing an ultra-slick looking (but quite buggy and unstable) GNOME
over a ( more polished, perhaps) bland KDE is a decision that involves
little thought.
>>>
i can just as easily apply themes to make both of them equally attractive.
but will that improve functionality? i dont know....

on a side note ( and not KDE promo ).... the sourceforge project baghira (
http://baghira.sourceforge.net/ ) is a macOS look alike for KDE. it has an
applet called finder ( i think ) that is supposed to simulate spotlight in
mac. i was just wondering if there are similar apps already present.?
Cheers :)
