Rahul, I question the point of ... making laundry lists of pros, cons, bugs
of desktop X vs Y... I'm sure folks can come up with a similar list of
gnome (or other) related negative items, or kde-only features too but I
question it's constructiveness.
My only comments here:
1. The desktop spin *is* gnome for cryin out loud. Seriously, common sense
is just screaming in my head to call a spade a spade.
2. A bigger question to me is what does it mean to be the "default"
desktop. All this "it's the default because..." comments make me wonder
if
folks are just grasping for reasons to justify the status quo. Where or how
is this documented anywhere? If it isn't, shouldn't it be?
Whatever desktop RH employees are paid to work on to satisfy their
biggest RHEL customers needs. Or what they *think* their biggest RHEL
customers want.
I think the question you need to ask is why they must force this onto
the Fedora *community* OS when the community is clearly objecting to
it.
