While you are preparing judgements -- both wxPython and The Gnome Desktop, hence the GIMP, GTK and PyGTK are more popular in North America than they are in Europe. We are vastly more likely to use KDE than Gnome. wxWindows is not all that popular here: I am trying to think of a single site that uses is, and coming up empty. But I can think of 10 QT sites off the top of my head. Anecdotal for sure, but I don't think I am useless as a barometer of local popular sentiment.
Novell seems to read the same barometer: http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1679393,00.asp Taking the same tact as ubuntu, offering either and supporting both. Wonder what determines one's taste here. My preference for Gnome is a strong one. I think it was KDE and efforts at mixed and mixed-up KDE/Gnome efforts that kept me away from the Linux desktop for some time. ubuntu's clean Gnome/GTK got me excited again. Art
