Better use of time
by Chris on Thursday 30/Dec/2004, @13:39

It would seem to me that a better use of development time would be things that make Linux more user friendly for the masses. Things like software installation for example. Less time needs to be spent on "foo-faa" features like rotating background software while blending it with a webpage or yet another screen saver option. Don't get me wrong, KDE talking to you is going to be very cool, but there are more important things that need to be fixed first. In reality most of the common tasks that people do in Windows are too difficult on Linux for the end-user. Microsoft will rule the world until a more concentrated effort on making KDE (or Gnome) a really usable environment for Linux and not just some "cool thing" for geeky types to play with.

KDE talking to you is more about accessibility than having a toy to play with. It is very important for those who need it.
