Eh, maybe, but we're talking about document viewers here, not video editors or desktop environments.

Creating two separate applications to simply read the same document files is basically redundant. I don't see what kind of "controversial features" can come out of a program so simple, short of allowing a user to change a background color or something.

Stuff like this is why people say KDE is so bloated, because this is basically recreating the whole Noatun/Kaboodle thing.

> the whole Noatun/Kaboodle thing

I always wonder how anyone could ever see any sort of duplication between Kaboodle and Noatun.

Perhaps some people like to have to click on ever music file separately and really hate playlists, or there are people who really love to have random sound files they have been checking in their filemanager end up in their playlist.

It's like the whole textprocessor/spreadsheet thing: how would anyone ever need a spreadsheet since textprocesssors can also do tables?

spreadsheet analogy doesn't really work... text processors usually can't do formulas in tables... big difference
