Firefox Lead Engineer Scolds KDE Project

Posted by Zonk on from the he-said-she-said dept.

trent42 writes "Firefox lead developer Ben Goodger has had harsh words on his blog for the KDE project, in light of its public tiff with Apple over the KHTML rendering engine. Goodger says 'Safari's renderer is vastly superior to the KHTML used by Konqueror,' and that the KDE developers should follow Apple's lead and focus more on the needs of users, instead of insisting on software perfection."

    'the KDE developers should follow Apple's lead and focus more on the needs of users, instead of insisting on software perfection.

    But if we hadn't waited on software perfection, we wouldn't all be playing Duke Nukem Forever on top of the GNU Hurd.
