Let's face it!
That Miguel de la casa, or what tha heck his name is, realises that GNOME can't be coded using C anymore...read some heating debate a couple of month ago. - Use gtk# instead he seem to be promoting (not that many agreed :-) )
I tried to program in gtk a coupple of years ago and that was ok, but not as productive as using C++ for desktop apps.
It's no wonder that GNOME never gets time to polish its user interface even though a lot of commersial effort seems to have been provided in form of developers...
KDE will provide a better desktop for at least five years if not more ...
...The best thing would be if the two projects merged over this time in respect of theming, DCOP/CORBA-component-programming etc, but that I only can dream about.
So, please - give it to me hard - I want some pain!!!!!!!!!!!
