To me, GNOME sucks less than most other stuff.
But, there are many things I like about GNOME.
I dist-upgrade every morning, incrementally have zero problems with GNOME during this.
Many things I have come to like about the *NIX desktop have disappeared from GNOME. This really is a huge gripe with me. Yes, I know I can do WTFever I want. But, let us be a realist, I have work todo as well. I also think GNOME sucks less than any other DE.
Of course I could always use XFce or *box or *maker etc... but well, I just want the layout and integration GNOME provides for me. I just wish I could tweak the hell out of it like I could in v1.4.
Devil's Pie is supposedly a means to an end, but it is a bit clumsy.
This isn't really that I dislike KDE, just I prefer GNOME's feel and fit.

No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp|source]
