I admit...
...I get puzzled when I hear comments like "Interface Nazis." Since I don't live this stuff 24/7 like Linus Torvalds, I wish I could at least have the benefit of his "wisdom." What is he seeing that I have neither the time nor the capacity to see?

How am I "limited" when I use Gnome vs. KDE?

I'm too busy working for a living to appreciate the nuances.
