Mourning the loss of our friend, WhitPhil.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but they're the easiest to answer.

KDE or Gnome, which is your fav?
Note: I know there are other environments besides these two, I'm just asking out of these two only do you prefer KDE or Gnome?

Why? What good will it do YOU to know? Or anyone else? I might like apples. Does that mean apples are best? Someone else might like oranges. Does that mean oranges are best? KDE and Gnome are DIFFERENT. Different people like different things. More people might like Gnome - but that is not going to make those that prefer KDE either like or use Gnome instead.

What I do not like is the lack of a migration tool for software between the Qt and Gtk+ standards in order to share applications in either environment. Some have started such efforts years ago, but did very little with it.

What is necessary now, is to import a ridiculous number of packages from one environment to the other in order to get any one application coded for one environment to work in the other.

Some developers consider KDE to have a cleaner set of interfaces aking to C++, while others consider Gnome (Gtk+) as more flexible (C oriented interfaces).

I like portable code standards!
