GNOME 2.19.2 has been released. "This is our second development release on our road towards GNOME 2.20.0, which will be released in September 2007. New features are still arriving, so your mission is simple: go download it. Go compile it. Go test it. And go hack on it, document it, translate it, fix it."

sure, they could/can do that. Yet, it feels like gnome is indeed progressing very slowly (though I don't use it, so I don't have intimate knowledge).
And indeed, the latest gnome still isn't far better than KDE 3.5.x, while the latter saw it's last major release more than 1.5 years ago.
So if KDE 4 comes out, I wonder what Gnome has against it?!?

Wel Gnome isn't competing with KDE, it's simply giving everybody an alternative desktop experience. I'm a Gnome user, and I'm eager to try KDE4, but in the end I'll choose the one that best suits my needs.
Currently I need simplicity and Gnome gives it to me both functionally and aesthetically. Maybe I'll change with KDE4. I don't know yet before I try.
But one thing I'm sure I feel - Gnome devs are not battling KDE and vice versa, they're showing us the power of true choice.

You are so right. All the time I read someone asking for GNOME 3.0, it seems it is only for the new major number. Hardly anyone gives a reason why he wants GNOME to go for 3.0. And even if a reason is given, the feature can easily be done in the 2.x series. (like speed optimizations mentioned above)
