Story: GNOME to fish in embedded Linux pond

Yawn, KDE is making all the progress on flash effects and gizmos, while GNOME has been guilty of looking too hard at HIG (something KDE needs to cover) at the expensive of speed tweaks

The thing that sucks is that there are two projects covereing the same ground, both on restrictive licenses regardless of the Qt issue.

They should both combine efforts as true open source as true free software under a BSD license. Whatever is said, GPL scares too many people and doesn't play well with others. Its time to kick the cuckoo's egg out of the nest.

Until this happens you'll never catch Windows or Mac OS X for usability, without usability, you'll never have the desktop.
