Jul 3 2002 on news GNOME 2.0 |
I'm pretty sure this review sums up whats going on over in Gnome-country...
http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=1280
Basically, GNOME 2.0 is a library update, they had to bring GNOME up to GTK+ 2.0. That was a big feat, and they're mostly done with it, but now they really need to tweak the UI, 'cause right now 1.4 has it beat.
There are a lot of realy cool ideas just budding in 2.0, but the GNOME needs to finish bringing basic 1.4 features up to date...
just my 2 cents

So in the bulk of these responses I've noticed that what constitutes a GUI is the look and speed. Ok, I'm willing to accept the fact that a GUI should be asthetically pleasing and fast, but what about usability? I had to vote for X if only because Gnome2 is a joke in usability (lets pray for 2.1...) and as much as I'd hate to say it, most of the fundamental GUI elements (dialogs, menus...etc) are laid out exactly like WinXP (yeah, its true...check this out KDE3 vs. XP ). MacOS X has taken the largest leaps to redefining how people interact with a computer (UI) in a graphical way (G + UI = GUI). I have a suspicion that if BeOS hadn't fallen victem to the bubble we might have seen a GUI aeons ahead of everybody else by now...too bad...
Have fun with KDE3, it may not be breaking all the GUI boundries just yet, but it can't afford to because its free, and when it comes down to it, thats better than paying through the nose for a pretty GUI. |
