Comment Re:Gnome and Enlightenment (Score 1) 229

This single item, is at my sense the most important one. I am also using Enlightenment and encountered some problems. However, I don't want to be forced to use Sawmill in order to use GNOME.

As far as I understand the problem, there is really a plan to port GNOME to Windows in order to gain some market share. This justifies Bonobo and Sawmill, since the author of Enlightenment don't want to bother with a port to Windows. And if my hypothesis are right, it is strongly pushed by big names in the computer industry. As a strategy, it sounds good. If you provide the GNOME environment to Windows users and developpers, chances are high you will eventually make the migration to Linux much more easy to Windows users.

However, I don't care much about Windows users because I won't make big bucks on this market. Can we still think the GNOME project is a really free development project?
