GNOME: 10 years old but did we need it?

| Hence, in the midst of the celebrations, it's good for the promoters of GNOME
| to stop and think what might have been if they had joined hands with KDE and
| moved forward in a cooperative manner. It is good to bear in mind that one of
| the men who started the project claiming that he wanted to provide "free
| software" is today tailgating APIs from Microsoft.

10 Ideas to Improve GNOME
,----[ Quote ]
| We love GNOME. Sometime around 2.6 it started becoming really, really damned
| good, and a lot faster and more responsive. All kinds of nice things like
| Network Manager, the Nautilus CD burner and the SFTP support popped up. It
| helps that most major Linux apps like like Firefox, Evolution, GAIM, and
| OpenOffice use the same toolkit and themes too. Obviously we’re not alone
| either: Ubuntu, RHEL and SuSE all use GNOME by default.

| Here’s a bunch of ideas to improve it.
