Talk, Rumors, X Versus Y "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 Gnome HIG is definitely a great thing. And they (the devs) deserve all possible credit for that work. It's great and is what makes Gnome so great.

Just too bad that Gnome HIG compliance is secured by removing (access to) functionality rather than ordering the options logically. But the Gnome HIG is not responsible for that, and the Gnome HIG is not the problem.
