There is a hot debat on slashdot about KDE vs. Gnome, ” Torvalds Says ‘Use KDE”. Thousands of Gnome users are arguing that Gnome is more elegant or relatively close to Mac OSX than KDE.

Gnome application may lacks the functionality than KDE

Hey, that is the problem, KDE application is easy to integrate the imporvement from the core by using KPart.

But it runs fast than KDE

You bet, but it is true that KDE has a larger footprint.

QT/KDE are bloated, slow

Again, I am reeeeeeeally tired of this stupid conclusion. With KDE split-ebuilds, this neat feature would be enabled in KDE 4, you just install what you want instead of the meta packages.

Here is an imcomplete list for the flamers, choose your favorite and start the engine:

  • Vim vs. Emacs
  • Gnome vs. KDE
  • FreeBSD vs. Linux
  • Reiser/Reiser4 vs. Ext3

I design, therefore I am
