Congratulations to KDE, Amarok, K3b, Konqueror, and all other KDE applications who win the 2nd place! (And of course to all involved in those projects!) Anyway, is this the 4th times KDE wins the award? or 5th? (Clearly KDE always wins the best DE award from Linuxquestions.org :D)
Unfortunately, they've decided to merge best IDE with best Web Development software, which resulted in Quanta only in 2n position after Eclipse. Otherwise, Quanta would have won 4th consecutive award!

cool

Cool to see how over 2 year old KDE tech beats the latest & greatest the competition can throw at it ;-)
Wait until KDE 4.x gets a bit more complete, and we can beat our proprietary competition hands down.

Hooray Kate
by Ian Monroe on Thursday 28/Feb/2008, @10:09

I've always found the vi vs. emacs debate very tiring. It's like an 80's historical re-enactment.
So huzzah for Kate's second place finish. Kate vs. Vi is a debate I can live with. ;)

KDE System tools lacking
by Tray on Thursday 28/Feb/2008, @14:41

KDE may have great specialty apps, but when it comes to integration with system tools like ConsolieKit, Apt, PackageKit, NetworkManager it's seriously behind the competition.
This is largely thanks to Red Hat and Canonical, who are throwing money behind the competition because it chose a licensing model that sucks up to closed source proprietary ISVs. The same ISVs that want to use Linux without giving anything back.
We see the same troubling attitude from the competition when it's leaders in the form of the GNOME Foundation decided to stab the open standards community in the back and give legitimacy to M$'s patent-poisoned OOXML.
KDE, on the other hand, it fully protected by the best copyleft Free Software licenses: GPLv2 and recently GPLv3.
The KDE community has got to do better in spreading the word that if developers want to promote Free and Open Source Software, they should help out KDE and shun the competition sellouts.

Ubuntu Brainstorm and KDE (Kubuntu)
by scanady on Thursday 28/Feb/2008, @17:30

It's great to hear that my favorite desktop environment is winning in the polls. Congrats to all the hard working KDE devs out there, and a big thanks! I wanted to also let everyone know about Ubuntu Brainstorm at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com. Right now "improving KDE support" only has 18 votes. Please vote that up so that Kubuntu can be more of a first class distro (I love Kubuntu, and all of the work put into it, and my hats off to Jon Riddell and all his fantastic work, but I'd love to see at least one more full time developer, and other stuff like a KDE interface to TimeVault coming out at the same time as the Gnome version). Maybe if enough of us vote this up, more support will be thrown Kubuntu's way. Thanks again to all the KDE folks for the best desktop hands down. Take care.

Amarok good, but
by Wil Palen on Thursday 28/Feb/2008, @23:36
|
Amarok undoubtedly has the best functionality, but isn't a finished product IMHO.
crashes when (starting) playing, crashes when drag/dropping to collection, sometimes skips tracks because it cannot open the sound device, etc.
hope amarok for kde4 will be better polished..

what does KDE developer uses?
by Mathieu Jobin on Friday 29/Feb/2008, @12:30
|
I'd like to see the same poll answered by KDE developer only.
what distribution do you prefer to compile KDE4 on ?
what distribution has best and always fresh KDE4 packages?
editors, method of compiles, etc.
favorite language/bindings,environment?
qtruby/kommander/C++
all this could be updated frequently, or all member of http://www.kdedevelopers.org/ could simply update their information at anytime and the stats would be always dynamic.
that would be great.

That was for KDE 3.X....
by Steve on Tuesday 18/Mar/2008, @08:45

I suspect this is all going to go in the opposite direction with KDE 4.X.
