No, we want to see KDE4 work as advertised which it still has a ways to go. To this point, I have yet to see any compelling reason for myself to switch to KDE4. There are a lot who agree and some who disagree and fell KDE4 is ready. It's called a difference of opinion. So, since our view differs from yours, I guess that makes us wrong?
Larry, if you'll look back in the archives, you'll see that I have specifically praised your particular efforts in this regard. The above comment was specifically made in regard to people who have persisted in complaining without making the least effort either to contribute, or to understand what is going on.
Which, again, has been advised repeatedly, and steadfastly ignored. Why feed the trolls any more?
And this is where the problems come in. I don't call people names and act childish. However, I've been called names, and I honestly don't
Well, if you feel I've been lumping you in with the mindless naysayers in spite of my posts, I don't know how to make you happy. Are you maybe being hypersensitive?
appreciate it. What gives you the right to criticize me, who has supported SuSE for almost 10 years by paying $$ for it over the years and who now tries to give back as being a part of this community? This is a huge change from how SuSE was developed just a few years ago. Everyone now has a voice. If we don't use it, then we get whatever is decided for us. It's like those who don't vote. IMO, they don't deserve to bitch about the outcome.
As one of those who doesn't contribute, but also doesn't snipe at the developers, I might take offense at what you're saying here. Do you think that would be right? Yes, I've paid for suse. Yes, I've stuck with 3.5.9. Yes I occasionally check in to my kde4 account (thanks for that tip, Carlos), and when kde4 and I get to the point that I can use it pretty easily, I'll switch over completely. In the meantime, I'll keep my mouth shut (figuratively) except to defend the people who are truly contributing.
