You're wasting your time. We've had KDE developers on this list explain that the kde team wanted a fresh start to prune out some of the ancient legacy garbage and dump some features that there was no evidence anyone used, and they wanted users to tell them what they were actually using so they would know where to concentrate their efforts.
Which is a laudable goal. But, when the substitue comes out as broken as KDE4 did, then it creates issues.
Fred and company have steadfastly ignored these people and others of us who have repeatedly reminded them of this. The only reasonable conclusion is that they are determined to stick to whining, and to refuse to participate in restoring the useful and developing the new.
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?
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 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. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
