And not just the rate of new versions, but the feeling I get that there are magnitudes more developers working on Gnome, that it is more international (yes, I know KDE is more widespread in Europe), and that it is less likely to be stuck because the three developers on project X have, for example, no interest in Japanese. OTOH, KDE seems to be a cleaner desktop at this point. Well, I think what "I" need most is a "MUI" (my invention), a Mmenomic User Interface. It's that aspect of the GUI that is most important. The eye candy could be achieved in an acceptable way on Emacs under X. It is also somewhat the difference between mouse and kb, but I think that distinction is less important than the mmenomic assistenece that the GUI offers. So if going to the right place to click or having the right command to type were equally easy, then a simple window manager on X with Emacs and emacs-like apps, would be a matter of taste. -- Jon Babcock
