I'm a

VFS support, especially since it's already provided by gnome.
Heh, I'm only a novice programmer, and I'm already lazy :)
I think widgets are a GOOD thing. I also think modularity is a good thing.
KDE and Gnome both appear greedy to me. They both want me to use their
system and hence, tell me how to use my computer. Very little care is
taken to make sure individual parts can be used without installing the
whole whack. It's like I want to marry the girl I love but I can't
without also marrying her cousin, her sister and her aunt. This is the
Win/Mac philosophy, not the UNIX philosophy, and especially not the free
software philosophy.
