"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?

I really like the reduced configurability (not functionality) of Gnome. In 99% of all cases, the configurability is reduced in such a way that *I* have everything I really need. For example, when burning a CD, I simply drag the files I want into Nautilus, press the burn button, enter a name for the CD and that was it. No configuring of Joliet, Rock Ridge, multiple sessions or file name truncating options - it just burns the CD in a way that it works in every computer on this planet, and that's what I need in 99% of all cases. In this 1% I need more, I simply do a quick apt-get install gnome-baker or whatever and I'm happy again.
