  FYI - I switched to KDE - the current version is pretty nice - small
learning curve - and I found I prefer it to Gnome 2 even (def prefer to
Gnome 3). I spent a little time but not too long - it does everything I
need pretty well (I have multiple apps, terminals etc in different
workspaces).

 Its a nice refreshing update from Gnome 2 and clearly is not trying to
compete with Android - which already won the phone UI ... and quite
possible the tablet UI as well, tho that looks a little more penetrable
to me market wise.

 Enjoy whatever you decide to do ...
