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.

The look of Gnome DE has improved a lot since version 1.4. I gave Gnome 2.2 a try, but wasn't really impressed by it in action. First, it's significantly slower to me than KDE 3.1 (I have Celeron 266 -- yes, I know this sucks, but Win98 is pretty responsible on this hardware!). KDE is at least somewhat usable on my machine though I prefer WindowMaker. Theme switching, although not bloated like that in KDE, is nevertheless confusing and illogical. And when it comes to menu editing, this is a complete disaster: why in hell do I have to right-click on an option in submenu to do something with the WHOLE submenu??? I couldn't figure out how to place a main menu's submenu on a panel. Is it possible at all? So for now I'm staying with KDE.
