"Some bad blood between Linus Torvalds and GNOME developers is flaring up again. Previously, Torvalds has said that Linux users should switch to KDE instead of GNOME because of the GNOME team's 'users are idiots' mentality. Now he has 'put his money where his mouth is' by submitting patches to GNOME in order to have it behave as he likes. This week, on the Linux Foundation's (formerly OSDL) Desktop Architects mailing list, the two sides are going mano a mano." Can I interest you in a pair of these and these?

Well, I agree there might be personal differences, and sure KDE is a bit overdone right now. Which slows everybody down to a certain extend, I guess. They're working on it, tough, and more importantly - they're willing to. A 'larger' theme might help, and distributions like Kubuntu clean KDE up a bit so that helps, too.
And indeed, while Mac OS X started to clean things up a long time ago, Microsoft still doesn't really get it...
