I dunno, Howard. I've been using KDE for ages, and the most galling thing about it is that it's written in an abomination of a language, C++. Second most galling is when I upgrade, and I find that an application that I liked using has been replaced wholesale with an application that works better, but which has a completely new name that I can't find without a Google search.
The only thing worse than having to write an application in KDE with its massive collection of classes is having to write an application in GNOME, which uses awful casts to move void pointers around, a truly awful system. It's amazing GNOME works at all.
