Yeah,
I also don't see where you get the KDE looks unprofessional. CDE
looks and feels like a toy to me (not very keyboard friendly like KDE).
Personal opinion about it. I find windows to be so much better than
CDE. I find KDE to be better than all others, and I will agree with you
about Gnome to a certain extent. I think it has a lot of Windows 3.1
qualities with file dialogs. But, I also think CDE does. ;-). I think
ICE looks better than Gnome or CDE. I believe KDE has many great
features, and as far as looking professional, I think one could compare
KDE more to the MacOSX interface just more keyboard friendly.

Ahem. You *are* aware that this is only personal preference? I for one
*hate* CDE (and avoided XFCE for that very reason up until now) - it's
the clunkiest and ugliest of the more advanced desktops there is - in
*my* opinion. I think most ex-Windowers will run away screeming when CDE
is thrusted upon them... :-) (OTOH, most Windowers will run away
screeming as soon as they see *anything* that doesn't look like Windows,
which is probably the main reason KDE and Gnome move that way, for
better or worse...)
But then again, it's very easy to use another desktop, fortunately.
Cheerio,
Thomas
