Ask Apple users. It has been a major selling point for Mac OS for years.
Maybe because Apple had the resources (people and money) to develop it properly and make it an integral part of the OS, not a tacked-on extra.
Perhaps. Doesn't mean we shouldn't try to get there though.
Yeah, right. That explains why my laptop would become unusable/unresponsive for minutes at a time at periodic intervals with tracker using up 90-100% CPU while it did whatever it does. And that was not just at boot time - that would happen regularly, every time tracker woke up.
I had to go hunt it down and kill it. Then I burned the corpse and scattered the ashes to the four winds to make sure that it could never do a Phoenix and rise again from the ashes of its funeral pyre. ;-)
Well, it is a bug that tracker starts in KDE, because it is a gnome thing. It may also be that tracker has other bugs, Carlos mentions the excessively high CPU setting for example, but bugs are made for fixing, not for throwing out the entire program from the default install. I'm not saying the thing is perfect, but we can't restrict the default install to just perfect programs. If we followed that strategy, we would install exactly no programs by default My vision of openSUSE is as a desktop platform competing on equal terms with Mac OS X and Windows. In some areas we are ahead, in some we are lagging behind. We shouldn't throw out provably useful features that are popular on other platforms, we should improve and extend them.
