Why every Gnome fanatic wants every KDE distribution to become something dumbed down/ugly ubuntu-alike (I am not talking even about violation of Debian Social Contract here)? If you don't like/use KDE, then DON'T USE IT! period

Then why do you add fuel to the fire by implying Gnome is "dumbed down" and "ugly"?

How is it that the flames get voted up and yet the actual informative posts aren't?

Who said I was a Gnome Fanatic? I just prefer a user interface where you don't have to look for 5 minutes at all the configuration options for one specific thing.

I don't use KDE. I do try it every release to see if it's fixed some of the things I don't like about it. Besides, in my opinion the QT themes are ugly, and whenever I try out KDE on my laptop, the fonts are HUGE.

Some people just blow things way out of proportion. Perhaps I should show a screenshot of my desktop, it looks far from ugly.
