It would be good if we could make a list of missing features that are missing because they have been dropped. Then we can go to those who create and develop KDE and tell them that we need KDE functionality, not dumbing down of programs and functions. User-friendliness is accomplished not by removal of possibilities, but improving the ease with which things are done.
Unless I am mistaken, you have this all backwards. There is no dumbing down of any programs, kde4 is a complete from scratch rewrite of kde based on the new qt4. There is nothing to "dumb down" when you are rewriting from scratch, just features you may not remember because you didn't use it, or decisions that may have not had impetus or time to implement. There was an effort to make a chart of missing features that folks were wanting to see implemented, which sounded to me like constructive help to the developers. The constant ranting and complaining about kde4 would seem to be discouraging to the developers and not constructive the way this community of users should be. They work and we complain does not sound like a workable plan for program development. IMHO it would be more profitable (and less noise on the list) if we go back and try to list missing feature so that developers have an idea of what folks need. IOW, try to give positive input to make kde4 better. I believe that is the model Linux develops under. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
