I doubt this to be the case. I am no ignorant since I am not moderating other people's own opinion down for no reason. Strange that exactly my comments are victim of being moderated down. But not because I might be right or wrong, no because I mentioned earlier that most of these comments have had been moderated up to +2 and better and this was the reason for people to moderate them down because for the sake of it.

I think I have a very complex and good understanding of good software framework and software design since programming is what I do for my living (over 23 years now + probably a few years longer dunno). I gained my experience by having seen good programming solutions over these years as well as having seen a lot of crap produced by people too. My experience comes from seeing things, from long years practice, from using good human visdom, reading lectures too. The GNOME camp seem to base everything they do on some books they have been reading recently.

So how's KDE less complex than GNOME if we use an example ? Somehow they get their homework done correctly, the code, data, translation and other stuff they need to maintain is by far 5 times more than what GNOME offers and still they made a powerful desktop environment and this is no secret at all. The part where I said that GNOME is utterly broken has been demonstrated with bugreports showing trivial tasks that can not be achieved correctly.

Maybe we simply do have a different understanding about proper software development but then diversity of opinions is a good thing.

Now GNOME and KDE somehow started close together (only a few months (till one year)) difference and now compare today, years after where KDE is and where GNOME is. What kind of applications KDE can offer and what exists for GNOME. Not that GNOME lacks a lot of really professional applications which can be considered ready for production, it also lacks basic functionality in what makes the whole desktop experience.

You might have a different opinion than I have but then I base my opinion on practical experiences and have demonstrated quite a dozen cases and scenarios of what my personal tasks where and where GNOME has shown to totally fail. You only need to read what I have written previously within this article's comment section.
