In general, I think we should avoid the KDE vs GNOME rhetoric. Not just 
because we're on the same side (free software desktop), but also because 
we lose sight of the 95% market share monster if we get caught up in 
turf wars. If you want to compare GNOME to something, compare it to 
windows or MacOS X.

Cheers,
Dave.
