This is a desktop comparison of Red Hat Linux 9 and SuSE 8.2 Professional Edition. We have used Red Hat Linux 8 for all our work since last fall, and installed version 9 as soon as it became available. However, we have not been fully content with Red Hat, so we gave SuSE 8.2 a try when it became available this month.

It's very clear this article is totally biased towards SuSE/KDE and mentions few good things about Redhat/GNOME.
I for one agree with his recommendation, SUSE is probably a better or equivalent desktop choice, however Redhat also has some very nice things. THeir tools are limited true, but the ones they have are easier to use. KDE also tends to include krap in some areas, for example the background program. This program takes a screenshot of a webpage and places it as a wallpaper. It even keeps the scrollbar as part of the picture even though you can not use it. All you can do is stare at it, this is nothing like Active Desktop for Windows. In addition the whole DE is easier to use, GNOME is cleaner than KDE and includes mostly what's popular not as many choices. FOr example the KDE context menus are a mess, often littered with irrelevant options, REdhat GNOME's are far better.
ITs true KDE is ahead in functionality, but IMO it is often that the same features KDE has are implemented (to the user) in a more intuitive way. KDE's really very much ahead they have the best technology IMO all they need to do is improve usability and speed. (also maybe include some cool Nautilus features like emblems)
