Without tip-toeing around the matter, Linus Torvalds made his preference in the GNOME vs. KDE matter quite clear on the GNOME-usability list: "I personally just encourage people to switch to KDE. This 'users are idiots, and are confused by functionality' mentality of Gnome is a disease. If you think your users are idiots, only idiots will use it. I don't use Gnome, because in striving to be simple, it has long since reached the point where it simply doesn't do what I need it to do. Please, just tell people to use KDE." Also, "Gnome seems to be developed by interface nazis, where consistently the excuse for not doing something is not 'it's too complicated to do', but 'it would confuse users'." Update: More of the discussion here.

Do you think KDE/Gnome developers or users care about what some Anonymous Troller says? I'm talking about the market share thingy. Users nor developers don't care if the market share isn't above 10% or so as far as they can use it whatever they want to use it.
And hell yeah, KDE is all dead, at least that's what all-the-time-coming new developers and users think. Please, get me some facts that they're dead or go trolling somewhere else.
