"Some bad blood between Linus Torvalds and GNOME developers is flaring up again. Previously, Torvalds has said that Linux users should switch to KDE instead of GNOME because of the GNOME team's 'users are idiots' mentality. Now he has 'put his money where his mouth is' by submitting patches to GNOME in order to have it behave as he likes. This week, on the Linux Foundation's (formerly OSDL) Desktop Architects mailing list, the two sides are going mano a mano." Can I interest you in a pair of these and these?

The man is right. When the developers start deciding that it will confuse their users this will start to feel idiots (unless they really are).
You have just offended a lot of people (who are NOT idiots).
Also i don't agree with that opinion. I know people, who are certainly not idiots, who don't want to waste time on searching for options, trying them out to see what they actually do, etc... simply because they are not interested in that, they have better (for them) things to do.
I miss many features in GNOME that I find in KDE. Mainly, configuration and window behaviour
So use KDE and don't try to force GNOME to be like KDE.
For me KDE's UI is messy, and full of things i don't care about - that's why i use GNOME. But i'm not trying to force it on other people - use whatever You want, just let me use whatever i want.
