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.

Where we are at GNOME. I would appreciate if GNOME would support DirectFB a bit more (not XDirectFB) this would probably speed up a lot of things and also cause some drawbacks I have already written a couple of emails about this which you can read on your own to get a clue what I am up to.
Here is the email that I wrote to the directfb developers mailinglist some days ago and the response was great, it also contains the 2 links of the mails that I wrote to Desktop devel list for GNOME and the response was good too. I already discussed this with various people in the #gnome, #gnome-de channel and showed them to try DirectFB for at least one time and the results and feedback was impressive. I bet after reading this things you may get impressed as well but it's also a matter of understanding and taste.
