Let's not forget the slanderous reputation about qt not being free or "for Linux", just because it was released under a software license other than the GPL. The result of that was a whole army of "Anti-KDE" idiots who believed that nonsense.

Man, reading this is *scary*. Gnome zealots may have an inferiority complex, but you guys have developed a real serious persecution complex and an over-developed sense of self importance! You guys are much scarier than Gnome zealots! I guess there are all kinds of loonies out there...

Cheers,

Even though KDE is very far ahead of GNOME IMO (and I'm a GNOME user myself,
always has been) I have to agree that some KDE people are a little paranoid:
they even have a site called kdemyths (or somesuch) that, well, is a little
strange to me. ;) Come on guys, grow up a little a bit, not everybody are
after you. :)

Well, all this propaganda about "paranoid" KDE developers and KDE users is actually getting propagated by people like you... let me guess you're all GNOME users right? :-P

there are a lot of misconceptions out there regarding KDE. such things happen. there was no good summary of information that addressed the most common misconceptions, so i put one together and called it "KDE Myths" because that is exactly what it addresses.

if people are free to spread innacuracies, i'm free to spread accuracy. it has nothing to do with paranoia or zealotry but a desire to have accuracte information in the hands of those who care.

if you can show me how this is a wrong thing, please do.
