Or maybe people tend to be more vocal about what they dislike rather than
what they like?

Oh, and for the record, I don't like KDE.  I switched *away* from windows
and continue to stay with something *other* than windows for several reasons.
The poorly designed UI was/is one of those reasons.  KDE's better, but it's
just a better copy (in _some_ ways) rather than a better idea.  IMHO.

Notice that I only described what I dislike.  Pretty common, eh? :)  Even
in the US presidential race (or US poltics in general), all I've seen
recently are reasons to vote *against* "the other guy".  No one seems to be
telling me why I'd vote *for* anyone.  Just in case another, non-computer -
but similarly emotional - example is needed.
