Although I regularly use KDE, Xfce, and other desktops for GNU/Linux, I keep returning to GNOME. Sometimes I use the default Metacity window manager, and other times the quicker Sawfish, but, with either choice, GNOME has an uncluttered look that allows me to focus on my work rather than my software. It also contains enough customization that I can easily set my increasingly long list of preferences with a minimum of effort.

I agree with most of Bruce's points, but has he even looked at the links he posted? He says KDE games look far better than Gnome games, which look like they were designed in the 80's. As proof he offers:

Aisleriot (gnome) http://live.gnome.org/Aisleriot v.s. Pysol (kde) http://pygames.sourceforge.net/ Five or more (gnome) [url=http://live.gnome.org/Five or more]http://live.gnome.org/Five or more[/url] v.s. Kolor lines (kde) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Klines-screenshot.png

Maybe he was writing a "9 improvements needed on KDE" story and he mixed up his notes, because this doesn't make any sense.

Pysol is the best, bar none, solitaire game I've ever played, and that includes several commercial windows versions, who cares what it looks like.

Quoting:who cares what it looks like


Bruce does apparently...

In regards to Kolor Lines, maybe Bruce was referring to the KDE 4 version, which at least looks much better than it's predecessor: http://polishlinux.org/reviews/kde-4-1-rev-783000/kde4_78300...

Perhaps. I admit that de KDE4 version looks pretty well. I can't find any screenshots of a better KDE4-ish PySol though.
