    Where to start...

    I know what you mean.

    If music is your poison, Amarok can't be beat.

    I guess you haven't tried the 2.0 version yet. It most certainly can be beat.

    KDE is all in all considerably less annoying than GNOME, more complete and better integrated, so these notifications are not worth turning into showstoppers.

    Are we talking about KDE4 here? Because I'd hardly call KDE4 more complete than GNOME at this point. In fact it seems like KDE now prides itself on incompleteness, what with the new desktop paradigm and all (translation: lots of desktop widgets and buggy as hell). I don't mean to judge too quickly though... perhaps in 2 or 3 years KDE4 might even have all the features of KDE 3.5.x, which would make it a pretty nice desktop environment.

    And Linus began Linux because he didn't know FreeBSD existed. Now he does.

    Your point? and while we're at it, you could explain why you're posting this on a discussion about mobile frameworks.
