I like Gnome and all (although I'm a wmii user nowadays), but I think "revolutionary" is a bit of overly-strong word choice.


Yes. "evolutionary" would have been more appropriate, as this has been the GNOME path of development ever since GNOME 2.0.0, but if we would compare GNOME 2.0.0 to GNOME 2.22 now, we would see that it has come a long way, and that it feels like a completely different desktop nowadays, even though the technical foundations are still largely the same.
