Mark Shuttleworth Asks Devs from Different Desktop Environments to Work Together
One of the most important aspects that Linux is criticized for is the fact that there are too many desktop environments, and the developers are not working towards a single goal. Each team sits its corner and enjoys doing what they want. Some people feel that this is the wrong approach, and others feel that this kind of separation gives Linux the power it has. |

At this point in time i think all the major desktops are a wash.
Unity is firmly Canonical. Gnome is dancing by the RH pipe (when you notice people using Gnome blogs to post RH news you start to wonder). And KDE has gone cloudcoocoolander.
At this point in time i suspect XFCE is perhaps the most "grounded" desktop, as they don't seem to have any big wish to blow up continents to fit some fever drawn map.
These days i have come to rue that i found Maemo interesting, as it seems that all the cr@p going on with the Linux ecosystem these days comes out of people involved with that project.
