[Tfug] Why not do usability research?

[P. Allen Trevethan, Jr.]

After playing with them all, I'd say KDE would be the
fair choice in a study like this *TODAY*. KDE has all
the wizards, and other hand holds for "users" that I
didn't find (or at least of the same quality) in Gnome.
At the end of the year, who knows which environment may
be in better shape.. :) I know there was a time a while
back where I found Gnome more user friendly. :) At any
rate, I think the point is the distro/env MUST be the
same with all test subjects to perserve the integrity of
the study, no?
