Re: [OT] Beautyfing KDE

I think things are simpler than that, actually, Eric.

Visual fluff potentially touches everyone.
Quanta potentially touches Web developers.
And the group 'Web developers' is but a small fraction of the group 'everyone'.

In short, this patch's rating doesn't mean -anything- comparatively to Quanta. Ask any Web developer if they'd rather have eye candy or Quanta, and see what they answer. :)

I think there's another part to the explanation as well. People who have the time to browse around kde-look and similar community sites, try out the latest stuff and even care enough to vote, are probably not the same people who use application software to get actual work done.

More importantly, quanta only touches a portion of the web developer group. I've tried using it before, and while a nice app, it doesn't provide any features that I have seen that make me want to use it. It also lacks split screen editing, a critical feature in my book.

The last time I compiled it was last month, and it still really didn't seem to give me much over kate. I did like the project support, it felt a bit more natural than kate's project support. What is it that I'm missing? Quanta seems to be good at document markup, but that's all I see.

well, for me the wysiwyg support is very nice... but indeed, for just editting pages, kate is very nice too. but if you want to work with php, quanta is very good. and the templates and wizards can get you going very fast.

I guess that's the difference for me. I do a lot of work in PHP, but it is very rare that I ever touch HTML in the course of my coding.
