KMail was usable from Version 1. Evolution needed at least 5 releases to evolve into something usefull. Konqueror was not beatifull but usable from Version 1. Nautilus was beatifull but useless. And now Nautilus has been reduced in functionality to about the level of Konqueror 2. And for half a year I had no themes. All grey in grey. Only after I kicked out everything related to ximian and red-carpet and reinstalled GNOME almost from scratch it started to work again. I can't count the amout of times a GNOME programm was on about a missing libX in version y.z and only x.z and nothing else. GNOME suffers under the use of C and its insistance of polluting /usr/share. Both of which are quite old fashioned. KDE on the other side using C++ and /opt/kde3 - and that works a lot better. The only GNOME programms I am using nowerdays is GIMP and sane. gtk is after all the GIMP Toolkit and should never have become anything else. Ah and there is GPS. Mind you, my GPS does not obey the selected theme. All grey in grey. GPS does not even highlight the selected menu item. But there is hope in the form of KDevelop 3.0.
