Making passionate users

Following on from what Vincent said, here’s a link from “Creating Passionate Users” on featuritis – try to figure out where GNOME is on the curve. And another one on Easter eggs

Another post on “Creating Passionate Users” suggests that passion implies polarisation. And that got me thinking that Nicholas Petreley and Mango Parfait over at Tux Magazine are probably two of the best friends that GNOME has right now.

Look at the comments on their letters page – people hate GNOME. And they love GNOME. It’s great! In the last issue of Tux, half the published reader’s comments were on KDE vs GNOME, mostly GNOME users defending their desktop from the big mean TUXies.
