I could take you seriously if had even a clue of what you're talking about.
KDE has gotten faster and faster lately. I haven't found any instance where
Gnome outperforms it on pure speed.

What the hell are you talking about? Any real-life examples?

(For a second I thought this was a poem.. )

I think both KDE and Gnome are needlessly taxing on system resources--
that is why I use WindowMaker. It's minimalistic, yet logically
designed to where it makes efficient use of the screen without hindering
ease of use. The user is provided quick access to launch, lower, raise,
move, etc. and I just find it all $PROFOUNDLY LOGICAL!

It does this out of the tarball too! =D

Plus, if you are insane, you can border your screen with dockApps and
impress your friends!

I just wanted to see if anyone else might feel the same way.

I do think that gnome and kde are great de's, but like you, seem to be
slowing down a bit. I have used wm and liked it, and lately I've been
taking xfce out for a spin, and I've been impressed.

Just more reasons to love linux!

Who, may I ask, is "us"?
