While Gnome is written in C and KDE in C++, there are bindings in each for the other. Which environment do you prefer to use on your desktop? KDE?

Both are popular, both are here for the foreseable future, so I don't think that matters a lot. My own bias favours KDE over Gnome because . I believe C++ a better programming language for this kind of work than C. It does more to help programmers avoid silly errors such as buffer overruns. . I find KDE more stable than Gnome. . I find myself using KDE applications, mostly, rather than their Gnome equivalents. . I think the recent move in Gnome to this button order in dialogues <help> ..... <ok> defeats one of the goals espoused in the Gnome standards/guidelines of making UIs consistent and easy to use. Older Gnome, KDE, OS/2 and Windows has "ok" or equivalent on the viewer's left. Back at the time of RHL 5.1-6.x I expected evenually to prefer Gnome over KDE. I've used both regularly since, and now I'm about ready to "rpm --erase" gnome.

The style of the reportage, not so much the POV. -- Please, reply only to the list. _______________________________________________ Redhat-devel-list mailing list Redhat-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-devel-list
