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 ) [/edit] to minimize a window; but I have KDE installed too, which I use occasionally.
I much prefer GNOME.
I prefer GNOME, but I use KDE as well.
I prefer to use both (or neither).

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?the Gnome session manager problems

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.

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.Originally Posted by dwks
zx-1 also brought up a very good reason. The Gnome file dialog is one of the more remarkable UI desasters of our time. Perhaps it changed in 2.8 ...

Oh, I see. Perhaps it has. I never use File->Open in any case, so I couldn't tell you.

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.
