    This is nothing more than a cheap rip-off of Mac OS X and KDE 4.x doesn't even work properly most of the time. The latest stable version of Gnome is specifically designed for power users while being easy enough to use for less tech savvy people. Too bad KDE 4.x can't be this good. I give KDE two stars because it looks nice. At least the developers got something right.

    Getting better and better with every update. This next release should bring it up to par with KDE 3.X.

    Gnome and XFCE are so much smoother, more polished looking and simpler to use that KDE is irrelevant.

    KDE. Proof that there's next to knack all quality control in Linux.
