Fedora 15 is a lot like Windows OS's.. irritating, offensive, difficult to use with ease, nauseating to try...

Wow.  Thank you.  I was hesitant to try KDE after reading about 4.x, but 
XFCE has brought most of the snappiness back to my machine.  The Chrome 
bookmarks pop-up dialog and IntelliJ's smart code completion are still 
slower than they were under F14, but faster than Gnome3.  And it was SO 
easy to install.  I have done a lot with Fedora, but I have never 
installed a second Window Manager.  Just stuck with Gnome.  Yeah 
Fedora!  Gee, now I might try IceWM just for giggles. :)
