O.o

ps: now I understand

(edited)

I use both KDE and xfce. Depends on my mood which one I'll use. I haven't tried many others... yet.

I used yesterday night xfce for a while, and I realy think that gnome is like a evolution of the xfce (this is just a way of comparation) ... I could use it daily, but I just say that gnome is a evolution because I thought both to similiar and I miss some applets that Im used in gnome and kde too... like system monitor and battery status monitor....
O.o

Back in the day about a year ago when i started with linux i used to use KDE, now i use fluxbox, i find it is much easier on the resources, and looks just as nice too. I personally do not like the look of GNOME.

i use GNOME on mandriva. i really don't like the cheap look and feel of qt and kde. kde applications seem to be prone to crashing and are slow to load up. as an example, konquerer takes about 6 seconds to load whereas nautilus is instantaneous. kde is also unintuitive and confusing. i would have thought that mandriva would have optimised kde because its the default environment.
i personally find the applications are generally more professional and usable in GNOME than they are on kde.......as if the developers have put more emphasis on usability rather than adding functionality just for the sake of it whether its practical or not. i started off on linux using kde, then started trying to use it again about 6 months ago to see if had improved. gnome is not without its problems too, but are of much lesser magnitude.

I use xfce mainly because I run slack on an old pc. I've used gnome with previous versions of slack.

I've godt Dropline Gnome installed along with Fluxbox. When I am working long-time on something, I use Fluxbox, because it is very fast and has the keyboard shortcuts I need. It gives me the impression that everything is at my fingertips... if I need some nice graphical graphics, I add some adesklets.

I feel really comfy with Gnome, KDE isn't bad, but I feel like home on a Gnome Desktop . Tried Fluxbox but I couldn't get it to look like I wanted it to Didn't spend too much time on it though, to be honest
