It's really quite simple...
by Alex on Friday 15/Oct/2004, @20:20

Of course, I would never take that patch over Quanta if it was one or the other, but this is a rating system, not all or nothing. Quanta is certainly far more important to KDE and the LinuxWorld than that eyecandy.

However, at least when I rate, I take into account what it is meant to do. For eyecandy, I think it deserves that score, there are few competing projects on kde-apps.org which offer that level of eyecandy. I rate it based on its category. Otherwise, I would be comparing apples and oranges.

In addition, the rating system is terribly flawed. It's either an application is "bad" or "good", there is no middleground. It should be a rating system from 1-10, that would provide more accurate representation. I rarely think something is actually bad on KDE-LOOK.org and so I vote for most applications as good. However, often I would like to vote great instead of good, such as in the case of Quanta.

I think this generally explains this.
