Gnome "Back in November we started sharing some of the exciting features planned for the GNOME 2.22 and 2.24 releases, and now that the first GNOME 2.22.0 Beta release is planned for later this week, we have taken another look at the packages set for inclusion and the changes that have actually been made. While nothing groundbreaking will be introduced in GNOME 2.22, this desktop environment does have some moderate changes worth noting. In this article are eight interesting packages that either have noticeable changes since GNOME 2.20 or are new to GNOME. This list isn't all-inclusive or ordered in any particular fashion, but just eight changes that had caught our attention."

Because Gecko doesn't work well. It's that simple. Webkit is much faster and more stable and uses less memory and is more portable, and better suited for embedded projects - not to mention computers that are not quite modern (like mine).

And because Firefox and Thunderbird are not well integrated on Linux at all.
