KDE3 vs KDE4 was discussed over weeks and a decision was made and announced. Everybody could have joined the discussion and participate in it, if he was interested in it - which I guess is the real answer to all this complaining afterwards.
Yep. And I pushed to have KDE3 included in 11.1 only to have it fail when I tried to install it. Now that I know the patterns are borked if you mess with them, I may try it again. However, 11.0 works just fine for me, and I was dubious about how well KDe3 would really work in 11.1 anyway. Like I have said before, I'm not against KDE4. I'm against the fact that the devs are more interested in adding crap that a lot of us don't need/want and not giving us the features we have grown to depend on. The KDE4 devs have got to know how badly they've handled this since it's all over the net. And, while they have the right to code as they want, what they are doing hasn't been much of a help for furthering linux on the desktop other than attracting those who want eye candy. So many of the things that made KDE what it was have been butchered or ignored in the interests of being able to do all these new gee-whiz things that the long time supporters or KDE are disgusted about. I've replied to several of the devs on their blogs and my concerns were ignored. And the worst part is the fact that those with disabilities have been forgotten and some can't even make use of KDE4. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
