Not to forget the "best of the best" poll

... where KDE3.0 is leading by a comfortable margin and ~1/3 of votes ;-)

And where...

the only runner up was Enlightenment which is not a desktop environment. And the only argument for that was that 'Enlightenment has a beautiful interface that is a pleasure to work with'. And to nominate Enlightment as a runner up for a desktop environment must be a bad joke. Enlightenment is obviously a dead project, and as you probably know Rasterman says that the future of computing is not desktop environment but those little appliances that run kastrated applications called 'embedded'.

Nice awards...
by Spark on Sunday 28/Jul/2002, @08:39

Their reasoning for choosing KMail instead of Evolution is... "interesting" at best:
"KMail received the award because it is very stable an mature. While Evolution is very nice, we've either experience or heard a number of problems with it. Further more, with estimates of KDE usage at over 50% of the market, having an application with a common look, dialogs, and address book is a big plus to lower training costs."
The whole article looks like this too me. "We think this is cool and we heard that others have problems with something, also most people use this, etc".
I hope you don't misunderstand this as the bitching of a sore Gnome supporter, I just don't like when someone makes a big fuss about their ratings when infact they didn't more research than the usual slashdot user.
Choosing Enlightenment because it looks neat and polished is also very interesting for a business related website. Considering that E is probably one of the least userfriendly of all windowmanagers and it's not even a DE...
Whatever. Congratulations though...

KMail is great!
by DiCkE on Sunday 28/Jul/2002, @09:17

Well deserved I think that KMail is at times very underestimated and really deserves to win this award. I'm a former windows/Outlook user but I really don't see the greatness with Outlook. I want a stable functional Email client that handles my mail stable and secure and I have found that in KMail.
Of course if the criteria for winning is most Outlook a' like then Evolution should be the winner, but it wasn't was it ...
Congrats to the developers and keep up the good work!

Tim R. Butler Open For Business
by chris felton on Tuesday 30/Jul/2002, @13:44
|
Tim Butler and the Open For Business website and these awards are a total sham! Tim is a devout KDE user and pretty much the only person who runs Open For Business. In fact he is the person who really started the embarrassing "jihad" against Red Hat today. So anyway I hope all of KDE enjoys the shameful awards bestowed upon you.

Kopete?
by someguy on Wednesday 31/Jul/2002, @10:49
|
Kopete? "Best Communications Software"?? Ohhhhh, I get it...it's a joke! Of course Kopete, which crashes constantly and doesn't work properly with blocked MSN users (which is a documented bug that the developers "don't have time to fix") beat Gaim, which is a fully featured and *stable* IM client.
Who the hell ran these awards?

I love KDE
by AI on Wednesday 31/Jul/2002, @12:12
|
I love KDE, we all love KDE, it is the best that has
happened to Linux. Here at dot.kde we talk about
nice things that happen to KDE such as awards.
If you want to talk bullshit about KDE or stuff
that we KDE-lovers won't like, go somewhere else.
I just hate to see all anti-KDE loosers on this forum,
do you seriously think anybody gives a # about you?

Why all this trolling?
by Ralex on Wednesday 31/Jul/2002, @22:22
|
The poor guy who made this review giving a positive impression of KDE gets all the trolling and still keeps explaining his choice ;).
I really don't understand those Gnome trolls: It has been happend a hundred times before: KDE always gets the awards, not Gnome. So this is probably a big conspiracy against Gnome? Or, maybe, the unthinkable has happened and there are more people liking KDE???

I like both KDE and Gnome!
by Andre G- on Monday 05/Aug/2002, @00:57

Hello:
I am happy that both KDE and Gnome exist.
To me, they are complement rather than competitors.
For example if I really like, many major KDE applications like Knode, Kmail, koffice, I also am very happy of excellent Gnome applications like GTKwave, and maybe also the excellent "BlueFish" a very good competitor to Quanta Plus.
So congratulation to both teams. I am sure that BIG RED(mont) will love both.
"Copy is the most sincere form of admiration."
