It allows you to do all the things I want to do. The biggest problem I have with KDE is that not a single theme/style/whatever that I've found for KDE has as good a look and feel as the Bluecurve setup does. Also, KDE has issues when it comes to panel applets. People like to put way too much chrome on things, and things end up looking clunky. GNOMEs panel applets feel integrated, and not an afterthought. The biggest thing is, I've tried very hard, at my friend Garrett's suggestion, to use the defaults in Redhat8/9 and now Fedora Core 1.0. I really like the work he's done, it's sad though that people can arbitrarily kill off another persons feature without getting feedback from the community. I guess this is where the whole "If you don't like what I do go code something else yourself" mentality comes in to play. IMHO, that shouldn't be the way to run a desktop environment. Before taking out major features, the community at large should be consulted. Then, and only then, should things be removed or added.
