    Well, I guess because you don’t need to do the ten minutes of setup.

      Oh, I get it! I just have to reprogram my brain to the GNOME way instead of the much more efficient way that I actually want!

        Use a tiling wm. GNOME is for people who want a sane, human-friendly default.

          iOS users think the same way born from ignorance. But hey, if you don’t mind inefficient workflows and an extreme lack of customization to fix that, then GNOME works.

            I don’t find it very inefficient. There’s also plenty of customization. This is a pretty specious comparison; on iOS you literally pay money a la carte for minor customization options. On GNOME, you might have to turn to less-supported third party extensions, or God forbid do some very minor config file or command line work. Far less than you’d need to do to do something similar in a tiling wm, of course… And most things that end users who just want to actually use their computer might care about are supported already. The system tray is the single feature I think is glaringly missing from GNOME currently, hopefully they’ll get that officially supported soon.

            Kind of weird to get so bent out of shape about some people choosing to use a certain interface.

      Both KDE and Gnome have a comparable set of default keyboard shortcuts.

      The difference is if you are in KDE, you have easier ability to adjust to what you want with a lot more available shortcut actions, while in Gnome you generally are expected to live with the choices of the devs.
