And the problem is what?

On: When Volunteer And Commercial Developers Don't Mesh

I think the author of the artice is one of the few
who has problems with Corel submitting bugreports.

The UI of KDE and the usability of KDE are very
important for KDE. We have a KDE user Interface
style guide which describes how we would like to
see KDE applications behave. If an application,
_FOR NO GOOD REASON_ does not behave like
that then that's a UI-bug which we would like
to correct.

Corel does quite a good job in finding such bugs
and I think that that is good thing for everyone
(developers and users) involved with KDE. Corel is
not the only one btw. which reports such bugs, we
have a lot of dedicated beta-testers who also make
us aware of UI inconsistencies.

I can understand that, after twenty years of Microsoft
software, people seem to consider software that
doesn't crash bugfree, but KDE tends to put its
standards higher than that.
