I guess all the Gnome users out there will have something to talk about for the next couple weeks. OSNews brings you the synopsis of the discussion from the Gnome mail user's list.

"I personally just encourage people to switch to KDE. This 'users are idiots, and are confused by functionality' mentality of Gnome is a disease. If you think your users are idiots, only idiots will use it. I don't use Gnome, because in striving to be simple, it has long since reached the point where it simply doesn't do what I need it to do. Please, just tell people to use KDE."
