(-1) Flamebait

You know, it's not strictly necessary to talk about "Gnomeification" or 
"killing KDE" every time someone uses a word that contains a 'g'.

If you want to debate the technical advantages and disadvantages of such 
things, by all means, use this forum, but "Eww, that's that GNOME way!" isn't 
a self sustaining argument.
