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 seems to me that if you're going to have a RH vs. SuSE usability comparison, then you should compare RH's KDE vs. SuSE's KDE or RH's GNOME vs. SuSE's GNOME. That way you have a baseline (i.e. whichever DE you choose) from which you can compare how easy it is to, for example, add rpms in RH versus adding rpms in SuSE.
On the other hand, if you're going to have a KDE vs. GNOME usability comparison, then it doesn't matter what distro you use because you are comparing just the DE's. That way you have a baseline (i.e. the distro you're using) from which you can compare how GNOME's file selector compares to KDE's, for example.
Either way, the article has missed its target. You gotta compare apples with apples and oranges with oranges.
