@MegaMichelle @h3artbl33d @thomholwerda Personally I really adore the default GTK 2 look with the strong font anti-aliasing. It’s not nostalgia for me, because I started using GNOME somewhere around version 0.9 or 1.0, later it was 1.4, then I compiled GNOME 2.0.0 (rc or late beta release) from source packages since my distro of choice didn’t offer it yet.

That said, I’m a KDE enthusiast since version 1.0, but I’ve been using both since 1998.

Yeah - KDE 6 is still on my todo. Most of it is ported to OpenBSD - and I really, really want to give it some tinkering hours.

The last serious use I gave KDE was 1.x (or earlier). Gave 3.x a try for a couple of days.

I am a sucker for cwm - but will be installing KDE 6 on a spare machine soon(ish).

Time is a serious constraint. Or, more accurately: prioritizing is.

@h3artbl33d @MegaMichelle @thomholwerda KDE 1 worked well on my Pentium 166 MHz (MMX), but KDE 2 was slow as syrup. I genuinely liked the UI and gave it several weeks of my school vacancy on SuSE Linux 7.2. Heh, one of the reasons I liked it so much was the productivity gains of using KDE’s PPP client (used it successfully with a 56K modem). My raw text configuration of AT commands in a conf file worked, but KDE made it so much more convenient.
