Couldn't care less, so they can concentrate on the proper UI
Gnome3 is one of the best desktops I used so far, next best would be any of the tiling WM. Maybe we get tiling support in some future release as well (I know there are tiling extensions but they are not working automatic).

And the funny part is the best argument for KDE isn't any feature of KDE its just the other Desktops and there behaviour what makes KDE the best solution.
Gnome3/Unity people really act like child?s.

Fantastic news!
At the rate they are removing things Gnome3 Shell will disappear into a singularity pretty soon hehehe
This is great news, the less people use this pathetic wannabee phone screen desktop the better for all us.
Keep it up Gnome dev's! All two of you! Honestly, you're doing us all a big favour!

Unity has little to do with Gnome3 except that both use 3D features, I cannot say much about it anyway, only used it from some livecd once. What I saw of Unity, it has some launcher and some search field for applications and documents (oh how wonderful, you now also get Amazon commercial results in the desktop search on Ubuntu).
And from a outsider point of view they are a big kindergarten...
KDE thats professional to not force people into a bad/slow solution for there outdated/ultra low power hardware.
Yes i don't write only "Outdated" because ultra low power computers are a modern green solution.

Originally posted by matyas View PostI've found both LXDE and XFCE wonderful alternatives. They feel polished, (fairly) minimalistic, usable and mature. Both are properly customizable. I was a Gnome user before, tried to get used to Unity really hard, but after trying to switch between 6 xterms (or 3 IntelliJ windows) I gave up.
I found LXDE super usable and it feels really nice to be 1 click away from anything (launch icons in taskbar + task list).
Also Mate isn't bad at all, at least I haven't ran into any problems using it.
XFCE is nice and has a pretty expansive set of utilities and add-ons.

A few very enlightening quotes:
Fuck you GNOME 3

But a KDE user just voicing a tiny bit of well deserved criticism in a gnome thread? Scandalous! Go away! You have no right to post here.

Originally posted by Awesomeness View PostWhile I'm not a fan of either, Xfce 4.x is a Gnome 2.x clone anyway. It makes no sense to develop Fallback Mode when Xfce 4.x exists.
