Is there any way other than this to provide feedback to articles on this site? Also, I would like to see the author`s name following the article.

On the topic GNOME/KDE
At the university most of my friends who are devoted linux users do not use either one of them because they`re too bloated and immature. Yes, progress is very good and they`re starting to look real good. But I think there always will be a large amount of users who want to get the most out of their system --IMO the main reason for using Linux apart from its stability-- and therefore will not use resource-eating environments. IMO the future of motif lies in application-support, not in merging with KDE/Gnome. These are based on other fine toolkits hence programmers will use the corresponding toolkit. Yes, GNOME/KDE are probably doing much the same but I do not think adding an extra toolkit will be considered a neat solution. Rather, people will install an extra gnome-base or kdebase than having gnome-base/kdebase and motif. There`s also a trend in writing pluggable gui`s (like licq) for that matter.
My conclusion is that motif-development should be encouraged by availability of good tools. If all my favourite tools (terminal, browser, editor, mailer, newsreader, windowmanager) are in motif they feel good and look the same. Yes, cooperation and integration among tools are very important but I don`t like applications depending on each other
and installing yet another 500+M package...

Well, just my opinion ) But I do know lots of others feel the same way!
