Window Managers What is wrong with KDE 3.x? What is wrong with GNOME 2.8+? These seem to be the two questions arising from the recent revival of Linus vs. GNOME spat. We all know the history; Linus called the GNOME guys 'interface nazis' and advised Linux users to use KDE, which resulted in the longest comment thread on OSNews ever. That kind of fizzled out, only to be brought to light again by Linus submitting a few patches to make GNOME behave more like he wants it to behave.

How about vica-versa? I didn't know I can configure the open and save dialogs in k3b to fit with my Gnome desktop.
If someone uses Gnome and tries to make it work like KDE, they won't like it. If someone tries to use KDE and make it work like Gnome, they won't like it.
It's really that simple; if you really like one desktop (like you really like KDE and I really like Gnome), then the other just will not work for you and will annoy you.
