Re: Desktop look...

I've tried koffice numerous times in the past, and it has never lasted long enough for me to be able to create a document and save it (kword, kspread, kpresenter...), so i use gnumeric and abiword, they're fast and they just dont crash for me - it's interesting that you've tried gnumeric and found it unstable, have you tried a recent version? i use the latest ximian version from red-carpet on redhat 7.2 and it's really stable.
True abiword is lacking some features, but what it does it does well, and it has .doc export.
I've never really used gide myself, so i can't comment on that but anjuta is ok (and more like kdevelop) - however i still prefer codewarrior.
Quanta - yup that's good, (although if i just want to edit html bluefish is also very good)
konqueror is fine as a file manager, but in my opinion it's not the best web browser - that's galeon.
Kivio - never tried it, but i have used dia and it's a bit annoying.
Red-Carpet - it works for me and it's great, but i do get the impression that it's not so great for mandrake.
It really sounds like we're not comparing equals here, kde's unstable for me (on redhat 7.2, with redhat updates) and it dsounds like gnome's unstable for you on mandrake.
It's a real shame that this should be the case because there are 2 great desktops out there and it looks like the distributors don't put enough effort into testing both of them. I guess i'll have to wait and see if kde3's any better and you can try gnome2 when that comes out. |
