I promise if that happens, I will to switch to Debian... and from what I
have heard I will be joined by MANY others.

I use Gnome also.  The Unity desktop seemed interesting at first, but
it has some serious progressive slowdown bugs that completely kill it.
I switched to the Ubuntu Classic session.

No, really it is a matter of personal preference about appearance,
configurability, and especially what âcore desktop applicationsâ you
prefer.  When I say core desktop applications, I mean that KDE,
Gnome, XFCE, etc. have many applications such as file manager, CD/DVD
burner, web browser, e-mail client, terminal applications, archive
manager, etc. that they provide or integrate most seamlessly with.
However, you can certainly mix an match.  For instance, I use Firefox
instead of Konqueror (KDE) or Epiphany (Gnome), and Claws instead of
Kmail or Evolution.  But k3b is the most powerful CD/DVD burner, so I
use that even on Gnome.  I use GIMP even on KDE.

You can certainly switch desktop managers/window managers often: just
log out, choose a different session, and log back in.  It's not a big
deal.

Colin
