Or flamebait?

I use both DE's on a regular base and neither of them frequently crash.

I had not noticed that - I've never had any issues like that with either
one.

Trolls get weaker towards the weekend as their beer levels drop.

So, did we ever definitively decide which is better, emacs or vi?

What kind of beer?
Here Jupiler is my favourite but you should all know Stella Artois,
sicne we keep the best and export the inferior ones...

No man, but I must say Gentoo is a really good distribution and the
others are used by a bunch of tree huggin' hippie crap! :-p

Haven't noticed. I haven't had a crash in KDE 3.5.6 that I can remember.
I use gnome and qt apps also in kde.

Good point - I would suspect hardware problems if either one has
significant problems. The only desktop I've ever had problems with was E17
about two years ago - and it's still under development.

355/113 :-)

If you need a better approximation, you're building very big things, or
taking the universe apart.

First, I make an assumption that you mean Gnome2 when you write Gnome, IMHO
you shouldn't mix those products, a good environment with Miguel de Icaza in
charge and a product I would cal bloat ware, cpu hog by Havoc.


No, I haven't noticed that at all, and I use KDE 9-12 hours per working day at
work and at least the same amount at weekends at home out over the couple of
hours I use it when I get home from work.

I have noticed the slowness, instability and the feeling of bing a prisoner
like when using microsoft explorer environment.


I should say that I loved Miguel's Gnome, but that Havoc ruined the name...
