I love it. And that's what really chaps the xxxx of a lot of die-hard
Linux afficianados. It looks too much like Windows, and that's got to
be evil.

All joking aside, yes KDE is bloated, and so is Gnome and so is XFCE4,
but it floats the boat of a lot of users, and it's quite useful for a
lot of folks who couldn't hack my less bloated icewm setup.

IMO, Gnome is a piece of animal droppings moving uphill not horizontally.

Different strokes for different folks.
