Wow. I hope you guys are just as effusive with your praise to

It's not that we don't like Gnome. I used Gnome 2.x and liked it. What
I never liked is the attitude of the devs, even then. Unless you were
actively working on Gnome development, they not only wouldn't discuss
your suggestions, they'd tell you to start developing or Go Away. And,
the attitude of the users on the support forums at
gnome.org is The
Developers Can Do No Wrong. If you post anything there that doesn't fit
that mindset, you get flamed, and that's about the only way to get a
response to a post. Aside from that, it's a "write only forum."
