But one can mix and match to get the best of several worlds, I suspect.
Aragorn once said that GNOME can Sawfish, Enlightenment, windowmaker, or
whatever else. I am not very familiar with these (I entered the Linux world
when GNOME and KDE ~2 existed), so it didn't make sense to me at the time.
Could a user, for example, give up kwin easily? Overall, as a visual
environment, I have always fancied Enlightenment the most. KDE is more
usable and effective though. It's a toolbox, not a DE. *smile*
