If you have tried pre-1.0 series, or even the first 1.0-release, you should know what I'm talking about. October Gnome is a really usable and working desktop environment, and the same can't be said about some of the earlier releases. Also the technical side of the next Gnome release is really interesting. A year ago many people just said that Gnome would never be finished or that it would always be second to some other desktop environment, but the Gnome team has proved that wrong.
