Why KDE Rules

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the it-is-pretty-neato-for-real dept.

diegocgteleline.es writes "Being a long time Gnome user and while talking with some non-KDE users, I realized that non-KDE users know few things about what are the "Good Things" of KDE. So I wrote an article about "Why KDE Rules" focused in KDE, with lots of screenshots and some texts - so all those non-KDE (or non-Linux) users can take a look at what KDE can offer to them, why KDE users use it and what they can expect about the future of the KDE platform if they choose to use it. Of course, this doesn't means that this was written to critize other desktops neither it means you should start Yet Another Gnome vs KDE flamewar..."

      Gnome and OS X? Here's my opinion piece. It doesn't work. Or at least, it looks very ugly and out of place, and takes half an hour to boot. Same with KDE. The only WM worth using with Apple's X11 is quartz-wm.

    You obviously are ignorant of CDE. KDE is more like Windows on steroids than a traditional *nix GUI.

    The question is: what are you wanting to use your system for? Answer that before you start frontloading a lot of croft between you and the machine.

          Huh. If I had Lara Croft frontloading anything, I for sure wouldn't be obsessing about WMs.
