I have yet again wrapped up another day using KDE as my main desktop environment. Everyone has had some appealing arguments (and a few were heated enough to the point of deletion). I have to say that both camps really do have quite a lot to offer. I have come to appreciate some of the KDE apps very much–klipper is very convenient so far. Yakuake is something I would have never found without your suggestions. Konquerer has far more than I ever expected! I do think, on the application level, that many of the KDE packages have more features and seem to be more mature than the gnome applications. The system integration seems a little better worked through as well.
Currently my mood is that of going back to gnome however. I will stay with it until my week is through, as promised. I feel like, despite the many features of these applications, there is not anything that I’m missing within gnome. I suppose we could argue that I have not used KDE long enough to learn some of the tools to the point of missing them, but those tools that I have used seem equal to what I find that I prefer in gnome. Perhaps I do need to stick with KDE a while longer to make it a fair comparison.
I’m not going to do anything drastic yet. I’m still going to keep using it through sunday at least. Perhaps we’ll find something more yet. I will say that the KDE crowd seems more vocal and proud than the gnome crowd (based on comments). I wonder why that is…
