Well I used Gnome once, it was so bloated and taking up so much RAM that I
never bothered to give it another try. Then I thought I found a good desktop
environment in the form of Xfce4, but the quality of their code is appalling:
it leaks memory all over the place and you can't compile it with anything but
gcc.

What makes me laugh is the fact that there are many dozens of window managers,
etc, but they all suck. Guess what I'm using on Solaris - CDE, it doesn't have
all the eye candy, but at least it's small, fast and it works. Oh yeah and the
first thing I did when I installed Solaris was to remove their Java Desktop and
all Gnome packages :-)
