So which one do you prefer and why?

I've been using using gnome since last one year and I love it EXCEPT one silly bug. Nautilus does not truncate long file name there by leaving too much white space between icons and ultimately the desktop or file browser looks really ugly. This bug has been reported more than 4 years ago but no action has been taken. In KDE there is no such problem. It truncate long file name like windows explorer.

thing i don't like in KDE is Single click to open file or folder. Its more convenient to have single click to select item and double click to open it. I don't know if there is any option to change it like gnome...

well thats my opinion.. what about you guys?

but this is a flamboyant question :lol: so most prolly MODs may lock this one.
and this KDE vs GNOME,Vi vs emacs,Linux vs Vista wars will not have any end.
so i'll quote some words from gnome forum itself.

thanks for pointing me the trick.anyways I end up in arguing with k*e fanboys afterall who wants to admit that ur DE is cr@p! :)

Sargek:
I used to get involved in flame wars about "who's DE is best", but now I don't care at all. I like what I use and tend to ignore people who jump up and down screaming about how mine sucks and theirs is the best.

The part I try to get people to remember is we have a choice, so use whatever makes you happy. We could be stuck with that horrific mess by an unnamed company located somewhere in the northwestern part of the U.S. I pity those poor fools that don't know any better and try to educate them when I can

then its OK I just cant bear the anti-G*OME rants @ some of the forums i visit.

Sargek:
I understand - I hate them too, but ranting back only fuels the fire. Everytime I read something about K*E and how G*K apps should be re-written in Q*, or about how "inadequate" G*ome is, it makes me ill. No big deal, G*ome isn't going away anytime soon!

Well I didn't start this thread for fight. I just wanted to know which one they like and why? If i get enough good reasons (apart from long file name thing) for KDE then i might give it a try.. No fighting guys... :)

just look at the end of the page for few of the locked threads of same title.
btwn the answer is simple=
GNOME means simplicity while KDE stands for Configurability.
It depends upon ur needs.
but being a GNOME user myself,i too think that something somewhere seems wrong with their HIG guidelines :-|
..and without mentioning the crown of discussion reg GNOME vs KDE @

I like kde for its customizing ability and xfce for its unbelievable lightness and eye candy(eg Dream Linux)
Both kde and gnom are bloated nowadays..

My My, all you have to do is go to KDE control centre and go to peripherals in that, then go to mouse and change it there. SImple !

Gnome....preferable,

KDE is indeed a nice DM,Only disappointing thing is Konqueror which used as Window Explorer by default 3.xx series but this will change after releasing KDE4,
Then I will be a KDE fan.

i love both. KDE for it's applications and GNOME for it's ruggedness and stability (KDE sometimes crashes, though not too frequently)

arguably konqueror may be better than nautilus-but new file manager-
Dolphin-is it's name.I tried it with kde4 opensuse livedvd-is nice somewhere remembering nautilus :)

You gave been GXified
GNome for its uncluttered looks, KDE for functionality

However KDE 4 is also low on clutter, & finally new icons.
