I'm curious as to whether GNOME is more popular than KDE or not. I usually use GNOME myself, because I love being able to press CTRL-F9 [edit] (I mean ALT-F9 :p ) [/edit] to minimize a window; but I have KDE installed too, which I use occasionally.

Neither, Fluxbox ftw.
KDE all the way. It's probably my own fault that I never got over the Gnome session manager problems, but KDE just worked. And I just prefer KDE's look.
Ditto to CornedBee.
Plus, I'm a Slack user and am there for required to use Dropline Gnome, which when installed gave me a ton of problems. As soon as I fixed those problems I found it to be just a mediocre windows manager and uninstalled it... which then gave me more problems...
KDE is too bubbly, it has some nice apps which I use with gnome (K3B) but other than that, its gnome all the way.
Yes, even though I use GNOME I really like kate and KDevelop.
What do you mean?Quote:
the Gnome session manager problems
I prefer KDE to GNOME any day.
I use both at different times and sometimes just a straight command shell.
KDE. But I like Gnome logo better.
Ion3 is perhaps the coolest thing since refried dough.
Its pure keyboard shortcuts with tiles and various fun little concepts.
KDE.
Reason: File->Open.
The session manager was supposed to start the programs that were open when I shut down. It never did. It opened programs I explicitely closed before shutting down, and didn't open programs I had still running. It also particularly liked opening multiple instances of Firefox, all at the same time, resulting in many of them complaining about the profile being in use.Quote:

Oh, I see. Perhaps it has. I never use File->Open in any case, so I couldn't tell you. :)
Code:$ kate main.c
I think I've used Gnome once or twice and I hated it (KDE is SO much more polished).
enlightenment or fluxbox.
neither gnome or kde get used.
both have way to much bloat.
