the truth is though, that he is not the only one who switched from KDE to GNOME. It's about the expectations.
When I installed F10 on the first machine, I tried Gnome and was so frustrated. I tried to switch to KDE but I couldn't get it to work but that was my fault. I didn't know about the session selector in GDM and was trying switch desktop function.
After playing with Gnome, I found the same frustrations. Some nice improvements over the version in F7 but still reminded me of using MS Windows. No real control to improve the efficiency.
KDE 4.1 is pretty good. I am having some weird issues that I don't like but I have not had a chance to figure out all the changes. I hear 4.2 is so much better than 4.2 so I think I will be really happy. Of course that is after I change the menu back to the classic menu from the Vista like menu.
Ok, honestly, I have been trying to find out what do you guys in kick-off that is like window$, but I have yet to find out. I don't see anything to be the same except that there are some things and you click on them.
My daughter prefers Gnome over KDE because KDE makes here think of Macs and she has had her fair share of nightmares with Mac's.
that's the first time I'm hearing this.
I personally agree that I would rather be using the KDE on F10 than GNOME but not everyone who disagrees is inherently wrong.

I will drink to that. To each their own. The person that turned me onto KDE now uses Gnome but is thinking of checking it out again when 4.2 comes out.
KDE 4.2 is already out and I'v been using it for 2 months now (from RC) and the final came out last tuesday. You can get it from kde-redhat repo.
