I have to agree with you. The desktop wars are long over. News from the front: Windows won.

Unless there is a spectacular advantage, most users will not switch. The Gnome folks seem to be bent on fighting the desktop war all over without the benefit of billions $ / year in cash flow. There is a very health market for those who know what they want and want to customize to personal preference without the interface getting in the way.

I mostly use Linux just in Bash, I kinda like KDE, but daily I use OS X.
