Ditto.  It works really great for me.  Like I can't imagine how to make
it much better, but I am sure the KDE folk will nonetheless.  Its pretty
awesome.

I while back I opened a gnome session.  I don't see what all the fuss is
about.  I thought it was clearly inferior.  Maybe its just me.

I guess the good thing is that we have a choice !   I don't like Redhat,
especially Fedora, favoring one over the other.

I mayself do not _like_ iot, but I do very well understand it. RedHat
is a business: they need to have a clear business plan. There is
nohing clear abtu focusing on two, nearly mutually exclusive
environments.

Also, frankly agree with their choice. Any time I touch/see Gnome, it
always seems to have a very strict/straight/coperate look which I
would imagine would be perfect for RH's customers. I however use KDE
on my desktops and XFCE on my servers. If I ever had to support a
large number of Linux workstations, I would either use Gnome, or roll
out a KDE customized to emulate the feel of Windows - the average
person is not really capable of making full use of the power of KDE
enough to differentiate it from Gnome (maybe even Windows).

DISCLAIMER: the above is IMHO, and not material for flamming.

Peace
