    Anyway, for my opinion I prefer Gnome. Which is weird because when I first started using Linux I use to be a die-hard KDE fan and think how can people possibly prefer Gnome to KDE. Go figure. I guess I like it because it's a bit more clean than KDE, where as KDE has more eye-candy. It takes a bit more to get Gnome configured the way you like it though, making it nice and customizable.

    GNOME, I would rather have limited customization abilities than tons of useless crap with KDE.

    KDE for me. I like having tons of useless crap.
    Konqueror might be the best app I've ever used in Linux (I even used it when I used to run Gnome). Other KDE- or QT-specific goodies include Quanta+, Krdc, K3b, KwikDisk, Kate, KDirStat, and Kpilot.

    How long until this thing gets locked?

    The guy is specifically asking for help with a homework. Although, it is a survey and I believe that the questions are legitimate...

    I like Gnome but I am also comfortable with KDE. My favorite apps include:

    OOo
    Gnumeric
    Firefox / Thunderbird
    Synaptic
    Firestarter
    Dia
    The Gimp
    Ganttproject
    Inkscape
    VIM
    Ascend

    Take it easy! Good luck with your survey!

    I agree. It's for his homework but no one is providing answers, just data for his study.

    And I use KDE. I like it so far but to be honost, I'm relatively new to Linux and haven't spend much time in GNOME.

    There is no need to be rude towards people you don't know.

    There is no reason for locking.
    The question is a general one asking for everyone's opnion. He isn't asking any of us to write it for him.
