That is an amusing take on the Linux "bashing". Some of the replies are just as good.

I haven't used KDE since the 2.x days... the included article makes me want to give it a try again perhaps. Plasma 5 looks interesting. Having GNOME3's overview and an Applications menu (really liking the shortcut icons on the left rather than a full menu item, KDE team!), sounds like I may just have to do give it a whirl (although will it make me ditch OpenBox/tint2? Doubt it).
