Why I prefer KDE over GNOME
In my early days of using Linux (around 2000) I used to always install GNOME as well as KDE. I wanted to be proficient in both and had no bias to either one. But then the GNOME developers decided to force everyone to use the “Spacial” method of navigating folders in the file manager (where every folder opens in its own file manager window) and decided to give no other option. I couldn’t believe that the developers would be so close minded in trying to impose their opinion on what was the best way to use a file manager, and that was even in the midst of strong opposition and dissent. I found it impossible to continue to use GNOME with any joy.
That was several years ago and many things have changed, including “Spacial” which is now just an optional way of navigating through folders. However, I still don’t trust GNOME developers. I see things like their unwillingness to add the ability to rename files and folders in the File Open/Save dialog boxes as part of the same attitude that drove me away years ago.
