If indeed G-3 is targeted at the tablet market as some say, then
perhaps one day it will be able to compete against Android, perhaps
that will be its home.
For those who use their computers for real work (not just browsing and
tweeting) the other DE's offer a superior environment (for many).
In fact, I would suggest that G-3 be changed to a tablet spin and lets
make KDE the default DE for [lap/desk]/tops.
Actually I wonder how many people who have posted so much about G-2
being retained, and how difficult G-3 is, have actually used KDE
current in f15? I have been using it for a while now and it really is
nice - and a completely different DE to the first shaky new KDE 4.0
that emerged only a couple of versions ago.... it is very usable and
worthy of daily use now as KDE4.6 or 4.7...
You are right G-2 is yesterday's desktop - today we have G-3 for those
that like it, and it may be a hard pill for some to swallow, even if
it does head down the tablet route (sorry - could not resist!) but if
it is impossible to swallow then I would really recommend people do
try KDE or one of the other DEs that have been mentioned. There are
good alternatives to G-3.
