    Why would I want to use KDevelop4 when I can use Eclipse? Eclipse -- thanks to it's use of Java -- runs much faster and requires less memory than KDevelop4 and it's antiquated use of C++. Eclipse has far more features and plug-ins, and I can use it on highly secure uncrackable systems such as Windows Vista instead of being limited to virus/trojan/spyware plagued Linsux.

      Linux just isn't ready for the software programmer. It may be ready for the web servers that you nerds use to distribute your TRON fanzines and personal Dungeons and Dragons web-sights across the world wide web, but the average computer programmer isn't going to spend months learning how to use a CLI and then hours compiling packages so that they can get a workable graphic interface to use with their IDE, especially not when they already have a Windows machine that does its job perfectly well with Visual Studio and is backed by a major corporation, as opposed to Linux which is only supported by a few unemployed nerds living in their mother's basement somewhere. The last thing I want is a level 5 dwarf (haha) providing me my OS.

    Yeah, I know I'm offtopic and trolling, and I should be filing bug reports instead...

    But yeah, thanks for the NetworkManager widget. Now my WPA-enabled wireless networks don't work.

    WTF, KDE?

    I look forward to having my touchpad break in KDE 4.3, and my keyboard break in KDE 4.4, and maybe, just maybe, a beta-quality release by KDE 4.5.
