A common complaint about GNOME is that it has a certain fetish for icons. Menu entries, buttons - everything has an icon attached to it which often wastes space needlessly by making buttons larger than they need to be, as well as menus wider than they need to be. The good news (for me, at least) is that the next GNOME release will have all these icons removed.

I know UI are a matter of taste, but please stop referring to KDE as the model to follow... I cannot stand KDE UI. No offense to its followers but not everybody has same taste.
And on matter of icons - I am puzzled. I always found the small icon next to the menu extremely convenient... so I am not too happy about that move to remove them.
