Linus Torvalds Switched Back To Gnome

[Angel]

http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linus-torvalds-switched-back-to-gnome.html

Linus Torvalds, Linux's creator, dislikes the GNOME desktop. There was a big
flame war(s) between Linus Torvalds and the GNOME community. At one point he
claimed that - "*Gnome seems to be developed by interface Nazis and that its
developers believe their users are idiots*". And guess what? Who made the
switch to Gnome?

Now, Linus thinks KDE 4 sucks and it is a disaster.

Here is the Computer World interview:

Distrowatch has an interview with Linus this week regarding this issue. Here
is the interview: http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20090202#feature .

Linus Says:

"I realize the reason for the 4.0 release, but I think they did it badly.
They did so may changes, it was a half-baked release. It may turn out to be
the right decision in the end, and I will retry KDE, but I suspect I'm not
the only person they lost."

Is not a secret KDE 4.0 has a lot of bugs. Now is getting the way. Linus
should take a look to KDE 4.2.

Knowing the fickleness of Linus.. he will do so in about 6 months when
he has gotten the last of the "You should try KDE 4.x" emails. I think
desktops, distributions, and websites have all gone up and down with
Linus over the last 15 years.

He doesn't pay a lot of attention to things that high up the software
stack.  It's whatever gets the job done for him.  I wouldn't read too
much into the whole GNOME vs. KDE issue as far as Linus is concerned.

He doesn't care about the desktop he is using anyway.  This is just 
people hungry for a story...
