KDE3 was good, but a bit outdated. Better then Windows XP, but underdog for anything that came after. For utilitarian user that values what computers do, not how nice is user interface XP like GUI is fine, but majority that wants GUI presentable to their friends will disagree.
I disagree that KDE4 looks fine. The look of KDE4 is one on the things that do not allow me to use it. And of course if I wanted to show my desktop to friends I would certainly choose KDE3 or (if it's unavailable), Gnome.
KDE4 simply looks like a hand-made article made by students, and what I would say them if Plasma crashes or huge artefacts appear on the screen?
Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder. When my nieces and nephew saw KDE4 running on my laptop their instant response was, "Wow! What a cool computer! I want one like that!" This from a generation that has been raised and trained on Windows (XP onwards). I'm not sure if they've had any MacOSX exposure or not, but that's the theme that I'm running on KDE4. Anyway, they liked it and wanted to know more. They're 9, 14 and 17 btw. -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
