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.

A year later and no performance improvement whatsoever. I am deeply shocked by the poor quality of the GNOME desktop: GTK+ is the culprit. If GNOME wishes to have a maturity level comparable to QT, then I would encourage a complete rewrite of GTK+ from scratch. Don't get me wrong, I do like GNOME, but GTK spoils the real GNOME experience. I'll stick with a snappy KDE desktop for now.
