I hate to break it to you, but Miguel Icaza is and always has been a
gigantic charlatan. I have never understood why so many people put
him up on some godlike pedestal and proclaim his greatness so
much\u2013I have yet to see anything he has done that impresses me at
all. GNOME was a heavily rushed \u201cme too\u201d game that produced
a horribly unstable mess for many, many iterations of it\u2019s
release cycle. It improved greatly once Icaza followed his attention
defecit disorder to his next half-baked project (which also fell by
the wayside in favour, eventually, of MONO).
But I have seen much to make me quite suspicious of his motives. And
his blatant love for Microsoft has been well-known for a long
time\u2026 Why is this still news to some people?
In any case, I suspect XFce and fluxbox (for two) are nice fall-back
plans for those who find KDE to be too much.
