    Yes, but I was talking about the past continuing to the present, not the present exclusively.

    I wouldn't mind a switch too much, but I really can't say I like KDE.

    The last time I used KDE (a few months ago) it seemed dated and clunky, and I hated the fact that Konqueror was just that, conquering every aspect of the system. It reminded me too much of Windows Explorer.

    I would probably stay with Ubuntu even if they switched fully to KDE. It would take a LOT of getting used to, but I think I could tolerate such a change.

    If Ubuntu ever moved to KDE (not going to happen), there will be a Gubuntu.

    Mono can be removed you know.

    I like the look and feel of my Gnome desktop. And lastly I do NOT like KDE and I will not use it...

    Just my 2 cents...

    PS: I do not like KDE...
    Couldn't have said it better myself. Xfce would be my next favorite desktop choice, not ever KDE.

    And XFCE is a light weight version of Gnome and to be honest I don't know how much mono is still in there.

    but now GNOME depends to much in technology that has a lot to do with microsoft, there are too many dependencies to MONO.
    Wrong. Nothing in the "core" of GNOME is written in Mono; only certain peripheral apps are, and they all have alternatives.
    tomboy, banshee, beagle etc, all depend on MONO....
    Ubuntu only ships Tomboy and F-Spot, which you can easily remove.

    Re: Should Ubuntu continue to use GNOME?

    Lets not forget that Gnome, KDE, XFCE etc are only operating on top of Linux (Ubuntu) ... its easy to switch but the basic distro is still the same.

    Rather, I think Canonical should increase their support for Kubuntu and Xubuntu to the same level as Ubuntu, both of which are treated as second-class citizens.
    I agree. I don't bother with Kubuntu anymore simply because so much random crap breaks due to lack of support.

    Choice. Yours to make, and Ubuntu will continue to offer it. I hope!!
