Thanks for the time you took to explain your reasons. I am my self a
Gnome user and sometime wonder if i should switch to KDE because of
all the nice applications already developed for it. I know i can
always run one application from the other but I have that personality
that has a tendency to dislike middle grounds. For me is usually
either white or black or in this case Gnome or KDE.
