Because he's cool enough to write his own presentation tool. :)

Those are probably the five most insightful words ever written on this site.

KPresenter does not Suck, I use KOffice for all of my everyday things and I do enjoy it. I look forward to the next version of KOffice and KDE

KPresenter & OpenOffice
by Matthew c. Tedder on Tuesday 26/Aug/2003, @13:22

We just need someone to pick up the ball with KOffice--As a programmer, I am far more happy with KOffice but as a user, I am happier with OpenOffice. I often wonder if we could swap out various components of OpenOffice with KParts--at least simple ones like the File Open Dialog which would make it immensley more useful. I like its web page designer for making quite sites, openning and saving through so many different means would make updating content of websites a lot easier.
KOffice is a great theory and initial implementation but we need people to work on it. I wish so much that I had the time.

Oh please! I don't know what "quite sites" are exactly but if I had been satisfied with it as a tool Quanta Plus would have died pre 2.0. Now 3.2 will have visual page layout... and imagine this, with a tool actually designed to work on web sites you can hit F8 and click a button to upload all the files you updated. Last I looked there was visual candy, but no real tools. We spent several years in development to make sure visual design can conform to the DTD you selected instead of hacking how it saw fit. I hope you're not suggesting OO as a viable alternative development path. Quanta 3.2 will easily put such rambling to bed.

I had neither time nor many of the skills when I got involved with Quanta. I've had people tell me they wished they had the time who had a lot more free time than me. Rather than compare just look at the basic rule... you always find the time to do the things that are the most important to you. It's a matter of internal priorities, not external circumstances, that make you available. There are currently people working on Koffice but it could use more. I want to but I don't want to compromise Quanta/Kommander.

Have you compared it to dreamweaver MX recently? Much less noisy than that (but granted, less functional too)

I had annoying wrist problems when writing the presentation, and kpresenter still forces me to do many more things with my hands than just writing the text.
The little thinggy I was using instead was a 1000 lines hack I once did for fun. We now use it sometimes at Trolltech for internal presentations within the development team. It's unflexible, can't do effects and is rather boring. The "master slide" with the TT logo is hardcoded. But it allows me to write simple slides very fast and reorder them with little interaction.
I would have loved to "sex up" my presentation with some of kpresenter's many features, but I wasn't able to this time.

So, if you don't mind, any plans in releasing this thingy?
Your 1000 lines hack looks clean, lean and straight forward. Just enough to get a few text line to the auditorium, without messing up with mgp oder a huge application.
