BAD kubuntu

[Ryan Rix]

Besides the DE itself you simply cannot compare KUbuntu and Ubuntu --
they are identical.
GNOME may be more 'stable' but when you think about it, products like
RHEl are stable too. That doesn't necessarily make it better. The
developer zeal of KDE and the future sustainability of its tech is
much higher than GNOME's.  KDE is a desktop designed with the future
in mind, whereas GNOME is designed to introduce new users to GNU/Linux
and provide a simple, deathly easy to use desktop.

KDE has akonadi, nepomuk, strigi, plasma.... GNOME has a largely
Python based interface that has, in my experience seemed dull and
introductory at best, nothing like KDE. Ever since the first time I
used KDE (Knoppix livecd running 3.5.4(not sure about that minor?))
and have always found it easier to use and more intuitive than GNOME.
Even KDE4 in its infancy just 'made sense' even though it was a little
less stable.
