Linus Torvalds Tries KDE, Likes It So Far

[wraggster]

"Linus Torvalds has never been a big fan of Gnome owing [to] its extreme simplicity. Even Gnome 3.x failed to impress the father of the Linux kernel. He has now given KDE a try after a long time (http://www.muktware.com/4739/linus-torvalds-likes-kdes-ability-configure-things#.UJTGMBJvelI). Linus using your software is double edged sword, especially if Linus doesn't like it — get ready for the harshest, yet the most honest and useful criticism. Interestingly, Linus has so far liked KDE, and for one simple reason: 'But ah, the ability to configure things. And I have wobbly windows again (https://plus.google.com/u/0/+LinusTorvalds/posts/DbmEE8kXLDA).' This should make KDE developers a bit happier."Evidently, Linus didn't get the message that desktop UIs for Linux don't matter any more (http://www.itworld.com/it-management/309170/interface-tricks-could-be-linux-treat), since he keeps acting like they do (http://linux.slashdot.org/story/11/08/04/0115232/linus-torvalds-ditches-gnome-3-for-xfce).
