Preview of KDE 3.4

comforteagle writes "In this month's KDE: From the Source George Staikos details what is to be expected from the upcoming 3.4 version of KDE. An Alpha release is due any minute so you might as well know what you're in for if you're a loyal K head. Some changes include major rework within KHTML & Konqueror, Subversion support, and Apple's Rendezvous."

Re:autorefresh

Both Konquerer, and KHTML doesn't impliment the HTML Meta-Refresh tag directive.

again, a lack of priorities.

although the screenshots show that the UI is getting better, the UI of KDE and GNOME is still severely not user-friendly.

my message to KDE and GNOME developers:
put more emphasis on usability if you don't want linux to fall in a few years.

i know linux inside and out. i am extremely comfortable with the OS, have been using it for years... but i don't use it on any of my computers at home. why? because using KDE or GNOME or any other WM for linux makes me want to dig out my eyeballs with a spork. so i use mac os x... i've tried yellowdog many times, but it just doesnt work. KDE and GNOME are ugly, hard to use, and don't come close to the user-friendliness of windows or mac os x. i usually am a linux apologist (especially to those who knock it) but there's no use BSing a crowd of linux users. the UI sucks. and i'm sure a bunch of 13 year olds who just installed red hat 7 on their parents old PII-350 are going to rebut saying i don't know what i'm talking about... but from a CS student's perspective, the UI needs a LOT of help.
