For the purposes of this line drawing you have to look at development
organizations, not functional groupings, so GNOME != desktop. I'd be
embarassed if GNOME's bug fixing and prioritization were as bad as
OOo's, for example, or if GNOME's release cycle were as broken as
firefoxes.

(Not to say that GNOME is perfect, and in fact I believe it has been
getting steadily worse over the past few years as Novell and Sun have
withdrawn from using HEAD. But it does some things much better than
OOo or ffox do.)
