I'll change this opinion if "people from SUSE/Novell will tell us" what is going on. Just don't panic and calm down. KDE isn't gone, and SUSE isn't dead.
Lol, everyone fears change. Hell even I fear it at times. Novell bought SUSE, I was afraid of what would happen to my favorite distro. But I didn't freak out, I waited and gave it a shot.
SUSE makes an OpenSUSE project. I cringe and think of how it could become craphat. It didn't, I was Ok.
SUSE announces that corporate versions are going to use Gnome as default. I stayed calm this time and everyone else freaked out. So to relax I went phishing on the list and got some zingers. Lol. (You know who you are ben)...
Change is something everyone fears because they can't control it and when you can't control something it's not just your ego, but your world, and people are afraid of the un-known.
Whenever the change of anything happens, people are afraid, panic, and make themselves look like they are just coming down from LSD. I know, I've been there too, and rumors start up mighty quick.
Happens any time anything changes.
I agree with you: people fear change. I think it's a sad story since I'm 200% KDE, but I'm not frightened, I'm not running around pulling my hair off, and I'm not going to get nervous (makes you sweat, stop eating, ... not quite productive ;) The thing IS: - all those of us that NEED KDE: it will STILL ne there - why doesn't humankind realise that it's the customer that decides. This means: I like/use/need KDE so I'll keep using it. I like/use/need SUSE LiNUX so I'll keep using it and pestering SUSE/Novell as a customer to get a good KDE. Summarizing: if Novell's customers demand KDE, it'll BE the default desktop. In any case: it still ships KDE so I have no worries and I plan pestering day and night if they even think of dropping KDE ;) And I CAN be quite a PITA. I invite you all to do the same :) Anyways, it's friday ... don't get so worked up ;) Keep on with the good job SUSE!!! Have a nice weekend.
