Problem with Konq, so many websites that dont render properly (many.com sites) Mozzy is more temperamental to 'em.
granted the mplayer gui isnt default, the gui code is still based upon GTK+.
have you looked at the screenshots of kvirc? its more bloated than mIRC. Xchat is pretty thin, thats not just opinion its fact, Im guessing you're trying to stir me up;)
just looking at some screenshots of Juk, the thing that disappoints...i just want to play mp3s/ogg, sure Juk might do more etc..but the interface, its HUGE. In comparison to xmms, its 274x115 in size. Looks like an overkill personally. main reason why most people prefer a sperate tag editor easytag and a seperate player xmms Specialised programs, for Specialised Jobs.
look at the orginal post i said Gnome/GTK (Gnome and/or GTK) and orginal complaint in the article about the file dialog box...which relates to both Gnome and GTK+. I never implied xmms was ever "gnome" related.
KDE indeed has a good desktop environment/filemanger, thats not the debate. KDE lacks decent applications.
sure theres nothing stopping me running QT applications in either environment, but there are better applications available (as i listed) Avifile doesnt cut it against mplayer, neither does Opera against galeon. You give me alternatives that arent as good.
Web Browsing
Galeon
Galeon is better by default, it supports more since its based on Mozilla...and its fast. Konq's "tabs" are shitty, shitty when you compare galeon's tabs functions, and the speed shits all over konq.
Multi-media
Mplayer (gtk)
Nothing can touch this player, sure theres KDE frontends available, but the default is the GTK frontend, Arpi chose the better GUI toolkit.
IRC
Xchat
I've seen a few KDE IRC clients, they're either heavy bloated with shit (kvirc) or so featureless that its not usable.
News
Pan
Knode is trash, sorry to say, some attachments never quite work.
Email
Evolution
Kmail, see above...plus it cant thread my messages that well..Sure it looks like Outlook, big deal..Konq looks like IE.
Mame
gxmame or grustibus
You want ugly, QMamecat is *ugly*.
Music
xmms (gtk)
Noatun is so shitty, why do they bother even developing it? Using seperate tools for media playing, mplayer, and xmms for music...why is there a need for Noatun, there isnt. basically KDE try to make a KDE tool for everything, even if it sucks, even it crashes.
the only thing going for KDE is the actual desktop environment and Konq as a file manager, everything else is either gnome and/or GTK has the advantage. They simply offer better programs, more mature programs, less prone to crashing.
with so many GPL'd packages available in each distro, how can Linux go down the "subscription-plan road" ? we cant, and we wont. Its a benefit of the opensource community, since Linux doesnt NEED cash to survive (however some distros need money to survive, thats the difference)
theres always GNU/Debian:)

lets compare applications

your website sucks, "here give us you email address, so we can spam you later". If you're gonna provide FREE porn, do so, no strings attached lamer.

so full of crud, get over it, freebsd isnt popular, Linux takes the 'limelight', it has better support, and nothing will change this.
