Re: Pleased with QtBrowser

Yes and no :)
Plasma 4.0 = trash, crash, poor, less than alfa-quality.
Plasma 4.1+ = gold, awesome, impressive, shiny.

I was not being sarcastic, I've already asked forgiveness to Aaron Seigo (and can ask how many time it is needed, he can ask me to do so as many times he wish, I don't mind), because I think his *vision* of plasma as substitute to the old desktop is right and plasmoids development will be more easy than creating a cake.

The problem is that plasma is far from ready now, and I won't even talk about way back when 4.0 was released.
The main idea of plasma was having a stable base where developers could create widgets without changes in the code each new kde version and that plasma updates could be distributed indepentent of KDE release cycles. I've asked Aaron, and he said this will happen on 4.1 and afterwards.

So, long history short: After KDE 4.1 plasma is the king, if they had released kde 4.0 as kde4-developer-edition I would have nothing to complain.
I just have strong opinions, as Aaron does.

Our last struggle was about removing those crappy mini-icons on plasmoids. He did not liked my (and other opinions) and we kind of crashed, but that does not mean I don't respect and admire him, I just won't help get his ego bigger because a big ego leads to bad decisions ;)
