on GUI�s
Today I�m not going to go with the expected rant on the benefits or detriments of GUI�s themselves� they are here and used I am going to discuss the variations. Specifcaly the Unix desktop variations. There is Gnome and there is KDE. Both suck� they both continue o get steadily better with each release. The very fact that there are 2 seperate desktops which are independant and incompatible with each other, is sick and wrong. Sure it�s great to have options but programmers end up spending so much time trying to make programs compatible with either KDE or Gnome that the quality of the product could be lost. Personally I believe that KDE is ridiculusly ugly and inefficient, its like an old windows gui come back to haunt you. Currently it seems that gnome is the best option for a Linux envroment.
