how many years do you think kde3 will be available (from you or elsewhere)?
Currently there is no upper limit as with any other software out there.
but AFAIK kde3/Trinity is *not* really maintained.
Can you elaborate this thesis? How to distinguish really from not-so-really etc?
From what I learned about KDE5 it will include Plasma thus will not be good for me. Judging from the screenshots E17 is quite promising. Once there is no suitable desktop on Linux I will switch to Windows.
did you really try it? I did and for sure prefere any Linux product :-))
Try what?
Anyway I expect to be able to use KDE3 for years especially given the existence
of Trinity and the fact KDE3 is supported in multiple other projects associated with nearly all major and not-so-major distributions.
how many developpers? kde3 + qt3 seems to me very hudge. probably more than 100 devs on the good old times
I have KDE2 installed on my computer and from my impression it is less buggy than KDE3. Even KDE3.0 looks more solid than KDE 3.5. So not all activity of developers makes things better.
I am more confident for KDE3 than for KDE4 which will have to drop a significant part of itself with transition to Qt5 (due the fact the majority of KDE4 apps still use qt3support).

one can love and use an old car, but when it's about going far from home, a new one is more secure...
With new car one can be quite sure that it is more safe, solid and bug-free than an old one. Unlike KDE unfortunately. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
