    I suppose that some users might find a "comfort level" (familiarity) of some sort running KDE (or Gnome for that matter) under Mac OSX. My reaction: why bother?

    KDE to me is about as welcome a GUI under Mac OSX as Windows 3.1.

    More applications via KDE? Hardly. There's nothing to add that OSX doesn't already have and in better and more powerful form.

    This strikes me as a really dumb idea.
