i think the problem is less a matter of etiquette than of many people being very attached to their favorate (window manager | editor | os | etc). it sounds as though you were more interested in actually finding out which to use, so i'll offer the reasons i use the one i do: i started out with gnome and enlightenment, cause it was the default on the linux distro i was using. i really like the tremendous amount of customization that is possible with this combination - any element of your interface can look like pretty much anything you want. when kde2 shipped, i tried it, and went back and forth for a while. i haven't used gnome much for the last 6 months, i find that while kde is less visually customizable, it seems to be more integrated than gnome+a wm of your choosing, and seems to be more stable. i also spend a lot less time downloading cool themes and playing with them, and more time working. just my 2c To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
