Noting the amount of typos in the article I'd say there's more wrong with the quality of the author than with the quality of Gnome 2...

I'm prepared to accept that the author of this article may not have English as her or his first language, but this sentence seems to display a lack discontinuity of thought that's not confidence-inspiring for the rest of the 'review' (or opinion piece as it seems to really be)...

Hmm, sweet irony.

The guy listens to Sade. How much can he really know about computers?
He didn't even know enough to hide the Sade before taking the screenshot.

What do you mean ? Sade is *obviously* a big computer geek. What are her two most famous songs ?
Smooth Operator (an obvious reference to overloaded operators in OO programming languages); and Diamond Life (obviously a reference to hardened carbon based nano machines).

No problem here: my nautilus is gone, and everything is still accessible through the Applications menu.
(it'll be back as soon as I apt-get it back, but I'm lazy :)

Actually, Nautilus is a *pain* when used w/ transparent terminals, as each redraw of the icons will cause each terminal to redraw. Besides I don't like desktop icons anyway. What I miss in nautilus is:
1. middle-click to open new windows
2. split-screen for easy DnD
3. Konqueror, that's what I miss, actually. :)

But with nautilus gone, everything is quite snappy on my PIII450. Of course "everything" is a lot damn smaller now :).
