I did choose one, as was indicated in the first paragraph of my post. :-)
I wish these subjects didn’t always have to be about a one-up or a put-down. It’s almost as tiring as having to expend the effort to research what NEW desktop environment to use, because some asshats took the ‘paradigm’ that made sense for decades and fouled it up for no reason whatsoever.
You may not think that matters or may not think I should vent about it, but hey, you can always find someone to post to who suits you better than I. After all, you are not stuck talking to an ungrateful troglodyte like me. ;-)
I read that, but this it just slipped out of my brain--my apologies.
While I never used Gnome--and only know about the whole paradigm change in it from other sources--I can understand your anguish. It is difficult to leave an environment where you may have grown comfortable.
