    Man, I am really loving KDE 3.5 and cant wait for KDE4 to show up.

    Love it or hate it, you have to be impressed with what they're doing.

  2. KDE by u16084 · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Offtopic, but its amazing how meny sites have "KDE4" Screenshots when its not even close to completion.. an "Artist Rendering" is NOT a screen shot.

      By my calculations, based on Godwin's law, this thread is likely to die quickly.

    There may be some useful ideas in there, but for a document proposing the future direction of a major piece of existing software goes, this is laughable: there are no references to user studies, feedback, or other kind of user-centered design in there; all this is based on is looking at Microsoft Office and a bit of navel gazing.

    I totally agree. I avoid Gnome apps whenever I can for this exact reason. The File Chooser is absolutely shocking! I prefer the KDE File Chooser by far. Usually I type paths and filenames, with the aid of autocompletion. When I'm lazy I can point and click easily, and it just isn't a chore! Compared to the Gnome File Chooser... well, there is not comparison IMHO.

    The Gnome File Chooser is what ticks me off about using Firefox. I wish I could use Firefox with the KDE's instead.
