Hello C -- I'm not "ranting and raving", as you say, and I certainly do not wish to "heap abuse on the people who try to help". Just the opposite: I am profoundly grateful for the help. I know the people who offer help are making a great sacrifice. I do not "actually comment on bug reports on kde.org", because I do not feel competent to do so. I don't want to clutter up the bug reports with amateurish complaints. Because I am NOT a professional, I do not feel qualified to participate in Linux, except in entry-level forums like this. I'm not complaining, so much as I'm expressing disappointment. I'm writing as someone who loves Linux, someone who would not dream of using a Microsoft product. I hate to see features that I have come to know and love disappear. I don't want to see Linux dumbed-down to the Microsoft level. I like having a CHOICE. Why is that so hard to understand? Greg Freemyer writes that there HAS BEEN a gradual transition to the new KDE concept. Well, I think developers and users like me operate on a different time-scale. From the user's perspective, the transition is SUDDEN: One day I have a system I love, and the next day, a system that seems, af first sight, to be a throwback to Microsoft. I don't understand why there is such a rush to phase out things that work perfectly well. Isn't maintaining support for obsolescent equipment one of the hallmarks of Linux? Well, how about maintaining support for obsolescent users, as well?! :) --- On Fri, 2/19/10, C <smaug42@gmail.com> wrote:

They aren't giving feedback. How many people ranting and raving here on the mailing list actually comment on bug reports on kde.org where the feedback counts? Almost none. Instead they heap abuse on the people who try to help... look at all the flak and crap that Dotan has dealt with... somehow he hasn't given in.
