I think that's one of the worst things I've read from Linux Mag. It seemed
to focus too much on a humorous style at the expense of worthwhile knowledge
sharing. A straightforward article on the strengths/weaknesses would have
been better and probably shorter. There is plenty to pick apart but, for
example, what diff does the office app make? KDE may have a special office
app but gnome doesn't (open office isn't exclusive to gnome although I can't
speak to how well it integrates into the KDE desktop look) so how does gnome
score that point? In the end, people use what they like and know regardless
of how good or bad it is - look at all the windows users for example.
