Isn't it interesting that GNOME, the prefered GNU project DE, is now suffering by guilt from association with Ximian and Novell?

Novell/SuSE has many important contributors to both Gnome and KDE, but since the Ximian folks went heavily for Mono, they are no longer in the mainstream of Gnome development (and I think that the other Gnome developers will be much more reluctant to work with Mono than before). There isn't any reason for you to start a Gnome/KDE flamewar, so please don't.

No flame war intended. Just pointing out that I've read some negative knee-jerk reaction toward GNOME over the past few days and that some people quickly establish guilt by association. That is all.
