Sorry if you see it that way.

I happen to enjoy computing. Anything that can reduce the daily grind and amount of boredom is welcome in my book.

KDE finally managed to make computing "FUN" again. Why do you have to be such a pessimist about it?

Why do you think Apple has chewed away at Microsoft's marketshare? Because the company portrays using Apple products as fun and hip. Even if Apple users aren't hip. They like to think of themselves that way.

With KDE 4 Linux will finally be "hip" as well. It will stop being the foray of geeks and people that live in basements. (yes, I know horrible cliche :( ) Linux will finally be something cool people will WANT to use.

I think that eye candy helps with that. Sorry you see it that way.

I guess computing is supposed to be boring and tedious for you. Just please don't ruin it for the rest of us.

Actually I'm not that pessimistic as I may sound :)
I don't know if you work for a living but if you do you might have noticed that PCs at work tend to be clean and somewhat boring. Save some artistic and hip industries noone uses apples for that. They are build just to get the work done. Nothing more nothing less.
