I think it bothers Eric more that he and others have already worked really hard on Quanta and you're basically saying "it's not good enough, work harder". Try to imagine how that might make you feel if you were in his shoes.

KDE 2.0 worked, and that was a huge release. KDE 3.0 also succeeded. KDE 4 has some fairly lofty goals but considering how well the KDE devs have done in the past I can't see them having too much trouble pulling it off. If you're worried about it and you're committed to KDE, you might think about helping out - there are more ways to do that now than ever.

Eric - best of luck with the funding drive and don't let a few bad comments get you down. There are people out there who think you are doing a fantastic job. :)

well, for me, Waldo's comments are the reason i'm going to donate to quanta. i feel really sorry for Eric, and all the work he has done, and Waldo was way out of line, imho. so i hope it helps Eric a little if some donations come in...
