Even Apples own software does not use appfolders anymore
Umm...name one Apple-produced application that doesn't use a.app extension which is actually a folder with a bunch of stuff inside? I can't think of one. Or were you referring to something else? --

Interestingly enough, that is exactly what many ancient Romans did with Greek statues that showed genitilia. Many ancient Roman statues are near-exact replicas of Greek statues, but with leafs covering the male and female genitilia.
a) DCOP is open and lighterweight that CORBA. For most things, CORBA is overkill. Bigger is not always better, sometimes it's just big.
b and c) Why use C to do something it wasn't meant to do? C++ was built for object-oriented programming. Use it!
d) There are many things that allow this, using config files and what not, but I believe what you're talking about can be done with the new XML based gui layouts.
e) Maybe true in KDE1 but not in KDE2. KDE2 has standardized on the NetWM standard and you can use any WM that uses that as it's standard. (Interestingly enough, I think they co-developed that and the.desktop standard with GNOME) Also, you can run any file manager you want. Just like GNOME.
Both projects have their strengths. Use the one that suits you best.
