You mean (and I am trolling here) the same trend that KDE keeps passing such as dbus, hal, libnotify, gstreamer, cairo, glitz, libburn, pkgconfig, poppler, startup-notification and all the other standards found on fdo ? But yet create their own set of stuff to avoid being compared with GNOME ?

If I recall back times when I read some archives of XDG ML then well, I find really curious reasons raised by KDE devels to NOT USE them. The same justified reasons I accept people to dislike something because its from the evil opponent the same way I would expect people to accept my dislike of Python as depedency. Maybe both reasons are braindead but they are at least reasons, the one has those the others has others.

I don't want to bash or attack anyone here because I believe everyone has a good right to have his or her own opinion but please don't make it sound like Python is the trendsetter in languages. So why not using MONO to develop core KDE apps ? Anyone missing the trend of .NET and C# ?
