    I'll say it again but slowly this time: because...you...are...an...exception.


    What makes me an exception? Because some AC on /. says so? Nothing personal, but I don't accept your opinions and assumptions as gospel. I know plenty of folks who run just KDE and KDE-apps. And I know plenty of folks who stick to Gnome and it's apps. I'm not an exception in any shape or form.

    KDE alone? Certainly can't! Should I use OO.o or *guffuw* the glorious crap pile that is KOffice?


    Koffice is OK for creating documents, it's doc-compatibility is not perfect, however. If you need oo.org, you can have it KDE-ized just fine. it would then share the look 'n feel, the file-dialogs and the works. I fail to see the problem there.

    Firefox or Konquorer?


    I use Firefox in Windows and Konqueror in Linux. I have exactly zero problems when it comes to Konqueror and web-browsing. I could just as well use Firefox (I have it installed), but I choose to use Konqueror instead. Just because you prefer Firefox over Konqueror, does not mean that everyone else does as well.

    Adobe Acrobat Reader or the KDE Postscript viewer that barely works?


    I haven't even installed Acrobat Reader, yet I can read PDF's just fine. Amazing isn't it?

    Gimp or..hey wait, there is nothing like the Gimp for KDE! Oh sorry, I forgot that there's KPaint (Ha! I crack me up!)


    Gimp is one of the few apps with no equivalent in KDE. But it's not a problem for me since I don't need it that much. And you can't live with the fact that ONE app looks different from the others? Hell, there are apps in Windows that look different from the others!

    I have yet to find a decent replacement for the KDE 2.x KBiff that worked so well with KMail.


    Well, the Kbiff-website says: "KBiff has now been ported to KDE 2.0 and 3.0.", so it might work with even more recent versions. And if you want an app like that, go ahead and write one. Surely an uber-hacker such as yourself could do it in no time?

    Have fun with your consistent desktop. The rest of us will be hoping that Qt fixes their X clipboard support. Again.


    Who is this "us" you are talking about? Rest Linux/*BSD-users? What makes you qualified to speak for them? And FWIW: I haven't seen any problems with the clipboard.

  16. Google sold KDE links to Ximian by John+Thacker · · Score: 1 · on Google Acquires Deja

    We have stated in the past that KDE will *never* have an elected governing board like GNOME Foundation. Absolutely nothing has happened or will happen to change that. --

    Now, it is true that this is not an elected governing board, but that response seems fairly disingenuous now. Plus "KDE League" is an extremely stupid name.
