I don't use it, but the wife likes it better than CDE or GNOME.  I think my main
problems with GNOME aren't even technical, but stem from my dislike of RedHat's
biz practices (the whole TriTeal/CDE/GNOME deal) and how lots of developers
write simple apps that could be done entirely in gtk, but require gnome libs all
over the place just to work.  I'll stick with WindowMaker on my desktop and
BlackBox on my laptop, and avoid GNOME just like I avoid CDE.
