>> First of all, enterprises do not care about cross platform possibilities of KDE/Qt.

And you know this how?

>> Do you know why Windows is still tenfold more popular amongst developers than Linux and even Java?

A true PFTA statistic

>> The third point is that ... well, Qt is not a native UI renderer in Windows.

Qt integrates very well into Windows. I've never received a complaint from a customer that it is not native. Lots of windows apps use Qt and nobody even notices.

>> They have many problems with elements positioning and they feel and act differently then native Windows applications.

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about.

>> will start in Windows at least two times faster than in Windows

Now you're not even making sense.

>> KDE developers still argue that smooth scrolling is not necessary

Thank god. I hate smooth scrolling

I like it but not when it feels laggy. It takes longer to smooth scroll because the animation takes (a little) time so delays are unavoidable. Thus, smooth scrolling is laggy. Maybe with a speed setting or a very high default speed we could talk about it. In fact, smooth scrolling when using search in KPDF/Okular is awesome =)

Ditto that. Smooth scrolling drives me nuts. At least Kopete offers a way to disable it.

Somehow 1 billion Windows users don't run mad over it. How come?

Because they're stuck with it if they have it, that's why.

It has a tendency to feck screen readers as well as mouse scrolling. It's not a spectacular feature. Really.
