I'd better start by admitting that I'm a fan of KDE. It's not because it works like Windows, but for the quality of the tools available. However, a GUI is just a way of doing something and I think I've been a bit dismissive of the Gnome desktop up to now. I read a few reviews of Ubuntu, looked at their web site and decided to have a look. I wanted a general purpose (desktop) distribution and an opportunity to get to know the Gnome utilities.

I do agree with some of the author's points. I too am a "KDE guy" simply because KDE seems more complete to me. GNOME looks way nicer though.
I don't really like the brown theme in Ubuntu though. I know it can be easily changed but I think that blue should be there instead of brown. It just looks better.
I've tried using spatial on my Mac for a while and all the windows being left open is too annoying. Especially on a 14" screen. I went back to column view after a day.
Ubuntu does look rather nice though. I hope people stick at it. I hate it when a new distro comes out with lots of potential but doesn't follow through.
