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.
