I don't understand why Linus Torvald's opinion on this matters to anyone
but himself.

I use both GNOME (on my own desktop FC2 machine) and KDE (on my
girlfriend's DEBIAN machine).

Aside from the fact that I have a friendly dislike for *all* GUIs,
and use them mostly just to start up console windows so I can
get command-line access, I don't find that either of them is
particularly superior to the other. I do find that the KDE menu
is less well thought out than GNOME, making it harder to find things
when I need them. KDE is supposedly the "power user's I/F", which
I find odd, given that I have a really hard time finding the
extra power it brings.

So, I find no reason to switch from GNOME on my machine to KDE.
And, if I had KDE running, I probably wouldn't find any particular
reason to switch to GNOME.

I don't even understand why anyone would have strong feelings about
it. Just give me a way to have more than one command-line interface,
and run my web browser and e-mail at the same time. I don't need
a GUI to administer my machine, and find that it generally gets
in the way, whether it be GNOME or KDE.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
