Gnome One year ago I wrote a review of Gnome 2. Some people thought I was harsh, others thought I was fair, point is, I always write what I think and surely Gnome 2.0 didn't have the polish or stability of a .0 release. But one year has passed. Gnome 2.2.1 is out, and I must say one thing: I am starting to get impressed by the effort and the clean interface Gnome 2 is now offering. Update: Screenshots inside.

It is mostly because Gnome back in the day was used primarily by Unix-heads while KDE was "the" desktop DE for newbies. These unix-heads, naturally, prefered C to C++. So with time, this became like the defacto standard, it is mostly a mindshare thingie than a real limitation really.
