well...if you got a bunch of space in your disk and
have no idea for what it is and you got pretty good
harddware constructed your box, you'll be like me.
Got latest gnome, kde, xfce, windowmaker,
enlightement,
etc. It's maybe fool to waste diskspace for this thing
i do. in case, i do it for fun without no further
thought for performance since it never bring me any
trouble at all.
when gnome's suck go to kde, when kde being broken go
to xfce.....that's the cycle of life ;-)
Even if I should choose, i'd rather choose gnome for
sure with no argument at all... :D
anyway, it's good to have a clear comparasion in
'plus' and 'minus' of those desktop environment since
users can choose which one is suitable for their need.
happy compare,
welly
