Question is, do we really have an alternative? I have used KDE1 on Linux
for quite some time and have found it generally useful and stable.
Recently I switched to FreeBSD and decided to give GNOME a try. Built
all gtk/gnome components from sources (using the excellent BSD ports
system) - latest stable versions.
Took me two days to realize GNOME is not nearly as stable as KDE1 is.
While mostly, it works, various components (e.g., the help application)
crash repeatedly and sometimes restarting X seems like the only
option...
Now with KDE2 in beta tests, GNOME will continue playing catch-up...
What do you think?
