Totally agreed. If there will be no KDE - I won't be running Linux on my home desktop. KDE is the only Linux'es choice before users run back to Windows.
I cannot comment about code efficiency however, because I'm not a programmer.
I am a KDE fan and run it everyday for my daily work,but I like GNOME too, I like the fact that I can switch desktops just like that in SuSE. Another one I like is Enlightenment, unfortunately SuSE does not have DR17 which is really nice looking... anyway the reason I am posting this is because I have been following some of the K vs G debate and do not agree with the things being said about Linux fragmentation of effort and loss of focus....what is that all about isn't Linux a symbol of "anyone can do anything" and it eventually works better than the thing many highly paid focused individuals produce???? I mean why should the effort be channeled in to one single project so that it survives, so what....do not get me wrong I know there are companies out there that would love to squash open source and move on and having focus has it's big benefits but I think if there was only one of a thing I might as well run that it is called "windows"... Choice is the number one thing that keeps innovation going and life interesting, if I had to look at the same desktop everyday because the majority of people like it and everyone really concentrated on making it perfect I would really hate that... I want to do things my way just because... :) there I throwed it in the pot. regards, george __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
