I suppose, but the article reveals that the writer hasn't done much research.
KDE 1.0 came out last summer, so GNOME is hardly the first GUI for Unix.  In
fact, one could argue that X was the first GUI for Unix, since it provides all
the graphics, and the base distribution includes the Athean widgets, twm,
xterm, etc. which do provide a user interface, just not the fanciest.
