I don't like gnome as much as kde because I don't feel that
it is as ergonomic ( keyboard shortcuts etc ). The latest kde
does take up a lot of processing power/memory but who cares ?
For €999 I can get a 2000 mhz machine w 128mb ram, for an extra €100 I can boost the memory up to 500mb. This is dirt cheap.
If I want a window manager that uses little power I can run
blackbox or whatever but what does blackbox do for me ?
The answer ... not much. I can run everything under it but the experience sucks.
Kde uses up more power ...true . If I'm really concerned about power I would just run my system headless anyway and turn it into a server.
KDE is the best local desktop env for linux and the guys on the kde team are still the best.
