If KDE 3 was the reliable, robust and practical Corolla, then the KDE devs are building the sleek (plasma), fast (Qt4), and dependable KDE 4.
Its the other way around. They had an elegant platform, with everything working. They decided to substitute a child dressed in fine flashy clothes. Its pretty, but its still a child. Yet opensuse is pushing it forward like it is ready to take on an Adult role. Form over substance.
You mention that you want KDE 4 to be comparable to KDE 3. That is not it's goal. It's goal is to be better than KDE 3.
Its failed miserably. By the way... How can you use terms like "better" if you reject the ability to compare?
No, this is relevant because KDE 4 is not a replacement for KDE 3.
That is a bit of revisionist reporting. KDE4 was ALWAYS intended as a replacement for KDE3. Only in the last year or so has this myth of it being a totally unrelated product appeared, and mostly in response to people starting to point out the obvious shortcomings when it was declared ready for prime time.
Could you please use a car analogy? I only understand car analogies.
KDE4 is next year's model of KDE3. It hardly seems reasonable to release it with a fresh coat of fade paint but no back seats, no instruments in the dash, missing door handles and a mock up of a radio. -- ----------JSA--------- Someone stole my tag line, so now I have this rental. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
