I found this while reading mpt’s blog. System 26 is trying to host themes for Linux desktops. Themes are generally a Bad Thing for usability, but that’s not what upsets me the most here. “And no, we won’t be supporting GNOME. Its time for the Linux community to rally around one standard, and KDE team has proven their right to be that standard.” This is a steaming pile if I ever saw one. KDE has proven nothing to me except that they are too fond of eye-candy and visual bloat. Simplicity is important in usability. Any gains the KDE usability engineers (=cough!=) have made are lost in the barrage of gooey thingies.
I avoid KDE like the plague, and so should you. Ximian GNOME has far better usability in my book.
