While I don't believe the FSF is doing evil, I don't think they're doing good.

Then they're not ethics. The whole point of ethics is that situations don't influence you to do things outside your belief.

In the FSF's "utopian" world, all software is community software that nobody owns, nor can they restrict.

Hmm.. so you believe that RMS will actually divorce himself from his beliefs.

Not at all. You seem to have a knack of confusing Free software with the FSF's agenda.

The Gnome desktop sucks for the average user. It's difficult to use and configure, not very featureful, and is artificually limited by the FSF's insistance on using only Free components.

Even KDE, which I consider to be a kludgey mess, is far superior to gnome feature wise.

Users PAY for what they want. Users also don't want to pay for the cost of developing what the want, because doing so is very expensive. They are willing to pay a portion of the cost, but Free software has very few ways to accomplish that goal.

No, I just don't compare thwarting intellectual property rights to being evil. Put some perspective into your views.
