The advent of GNOME 3 has coincided closely enough with my switch from Linux to OS X at home that i have had a lucky escape. My own old netbook is now also on XFCE, but i don't use it all that much. At work, we've gone over to XFCE. In terms of usability, i am currently having more problems from the changes to autocompletion in bash 4.2 than from the desktop switch. There is at least one upside to moving off GNOME 2 at work: i no longer sit down at a machine to find that some enterprising colleague has completely broken the panels. > I think I'll stay with it until at G3.2 comes out and then think again > depending on whether 3.2 fixes its most obvious deficiencies. Or not. Brave man. It will be interesting to see what 3.2 is like. I'll probably install that, or more likely 3.3, when it comes out, just to see how things are progressing. I am also expecting a lot of GUI and application developers to jump ship from GNOME to XFCE, and so a surge in development for the latter. For example, there is not currently a maintained or integrated Exposé/Scale-like window switcher for XFCE, but i anticipate that there will be before too long. tom -- Desdemona may collide with either Cressida or Juliet within the next 100 million years.
