Can Cut and Paste with abandonment....and remember what I was doing thru power down and boot cycles.
It all depends on what you want to do and what you are comfortable with. I prefer Kedit over Gedit, not that there is a lot of difference. So I run whichever distro I happen to need with Gnome and a bunch of KDE apps and utilities. Mix and mash until it's comfortable like an old boot to me. ;)
The important thing is that you found what works for you.
