You are a programmer so unix suits you better.
I think they are all severely lacking (OSs). I mainly use Linux/Gnome or Linux/Windowmaker. The first combination gives a lot that a non-programmer should rightly demand from a modern operating system and desktop environment while the second combination doesn't. KDE2 is out for the last couple of weeks and is very useable by all accounts. The fact that there is competition between the Gnome and KDE teams (and there is competition than any of the developers will openly admin to) spurs them both on to bigger and better things. These are fairly fundamental parts of human nature and as a result economics. Monopolies ultimately fall on their own sword and die. It is a fact of life. It doesn't mean the Microsoft is bad. It doesn't mean that Microsoft will disappear. It just means that there will and should be choices, competition and freedom. As seen in a sig recently; thirty years of computer science research and all we've got to show for it is a talking paperclip.
