10 reasons why KDE is better than GNOME
Having Read this wonderful article over at techrepublic by Jack Wallen called “10 reasons why GNOME is better than KDE“. I think a retort is in order form the KDE side? Id like to add that I personally use Fluxbox day to day, with a handpicked selection of various GTK and QT apps.
1: KDE 4
The backlash from KDE 4 has been pretty severe. When KDE 4 was first released, it simply wasn’t ready. KDE 4 was a complete redesign, from the ground up.
It was redesigned from the ground up and now that we are at 4.2 and with 4.3 looking to be better than ever we are seeing the huge advantages of doing the redesign, I agree that they released a tad early, but the vision that is KDE4 is now coming to fruition. Breaks are a necessary evil, you cant implement any major improvements without some breakages, and lets face it GTK3 integration and GNOME “3.0″ (its 2.3 really) will bring little advantages due to lack of breakages.
“You have GNOME which is steadfastly moving forward, the same direction it has been moving for years.”
And you can tell, whats the difference between 2.22 and 2.24? Nautilus got tabs! (finally), a new screen resolution utility etc. all hardly big improvements to the user experience.
