Linus ha hablado
Carta de Linus a los usuarios, Hermanos:
I personally just encourage people to switch to KDE. This "users are idiots, and are confused by functionality" mentality of Gnome is a disease. If you think your users are idiots, only idiots will use it. I don't use Gnome, because in striving to be simple, it has long since reached the point where it simply doesn't do what I need it to do. Please, just tell people to use KDE. Linus.Mensaje 21 párrafo 2, diciembre 2005, lista de usabilidad de linux, nuevo milenio. Ha subido el pan.

Un ejemplo clarificador sobre las dos filosofias.

Ejemplo claro, sin duda el bueno de Jimmac sabe expresarse gráficamente :).

Que solemos decir en el irc, sinceramente es una muestra mas de que la gente "gorda" detras de linux esta hasta las pelotas de que cada dos por tres rompan compatibilidades con versiones anteriores, que hagan y rehagan las mismas cosas una y otra vez, y que al final quede ese aspecto de "nunca estamos acabados" que tienen.
Para mi, eso unido a que cada vez quieren copiar mas a M$, pues eso, mas mierda...
Como ya dijo Patrick Volkerding en su dia:
(sacado de ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-10.2/ChangeLog.txt):
gnome/*: Removed from -current, and turned over to community support and
distribution. I'm not going to rehash all the reasons behind this, but it's
been under consideration for more than four years. There are already good
projects in place to provide Slackware GNOME for those who want it, and
these are more complete than what Slackware has shipped in the past. So, if
you're looking for GNOME for Slackware -current, I would recommend looking at
these two projects for well-built packages that follow a policy of minimal
interference with the base Slackware system:
http://gsb.sf.net
http://gware.sf.net
There is also Dropline, of course, which is quite popular. However, due to
their policy of adding PAM and replacing large system packages (like the
entire X11 system) with their own versions, I can't give quite the same sort
of nod to Dropline. Nevertheless, it remains another choice, and it's _your_
system, so I will also mention their project:
http://www.dropline.net/gnome/
Please do not incorrectly interpret any of this as a slight against GNOME
itself, which (although it does usually need to be fixed and polished beyond
the way it ships from upstream more so than, say, KDE or XFce) is a decent
desktop choice. So are a lot of others, but Slackware does not need to ship
every choice. GNOME is and always has been a moving target (even the
"stable" releases usually aren't quite ready yet) that really does demand a
team to keep up on all the changes (many of which are not always well
documented). I fully expect that this move will improve the quality of both
Slackware itself, and the quality (and quantity) of the GNOME options
available for it.
Folks, this is how open source is supposed to work. Enjoy. :-)
