That says it all, right there. Most revealing statement posted on this whole thread. Right up there with "KDE doesn't need users".
What does that reveal? You should know that I am not a KDE dev, I am an end user like yourself. I just file bugs.
If the guy who has undertaken to file bug reports does not want KDE4 to be "comparable" to the single most robust, complete, flexible, configurable, extensible desktop manager the Linux world has ever known then that explains why we have no chance of ever seeing KDE4 approach the quality of KDE3 or of ever convincing the DEVs that they made a serious error.
What do you tell people who want Opensuse to be comparable to Windows?
What the hell has that got do do with anything?
So far as KDE is concerned, KDE 4.x does not yet replace KDE 3.x, and it will not in the near future.
And as long as you, and the DEVs insist it should not "be comparable" it will never be able to replace KDE3.
Complain that Suse is dropping support for KDE 3.5, but that is a different issue. They might as well be dropping it for XFCE, Gnome, or Flushbox instead of KDE 4.x, as non of them are designed by their authors as replacements for KDE 3.x.
Again, you wander off on tangents here. You half way admit that KDE4 was designed to be a replacement of KDE3, yet you insist it should not be compared to KDE3. Most Disgruntled KDE3 users would be happy is KDE4 devs had decided to start with KDE3 as the base, rather than Ground Zero. Only people who don't compare the two would think KDE4 is anyway near what KDE 3 was. Gnome users migrating to KDE4 are probably impressed. Its like hiring a PhD for a critical task, sending him out to a seminar to extend his skill set, but instead he decides to go back to the Sixth grade so he can wear all the cool new threads. -- ----------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
