Re: GNOME still got more projects (58) :-(

NOT. gimp isn't gnome, inkscape isn't gnome. also pidgin.
Those are all GTK+ apps (as we can have Qt apps), not so bound
to the DE as you seem to believe.

Them are not part of any office suite, and you would be surprised
if you knew how much kde users also use gimp or inkscape
(with no offense for anyone but them are still fairly above the quality
level/number of users of Krita and Karbon).

"gimp isn't gnome, inkscape isn't gnome. also pidgin."

Then don't count KOffice and Kopete as KDE.

"them are still fairly above the quality level/number of users of Krita and Karbon"

Krita has some features that GIMP doesn't and it is likely that it will be better than GIMP short time after 2.0.

Gimp isn't developed by the core Gnome developers, nor Inkscape, etc.

Heck, last time I checked, those were multiplatform apps, where as Gnome is *nix only.

Kopete is shipped as a core KDE app these days, isn't it? Koffice is in the KDE SVN repository, yet has its own release schedule, but it is closely tied to KDE.

So? Gimp is in the Gnome svn repository, uses the Gnome bugzilla and has extra support for gnome technologies it doesn't offer on other desktops.

Gimp and Inkscape are not Gnome applications. They are simple GTK ones.
KOffice and Kopete are KDE applications.

It's not a matter of 'opinion'. It's a fact.
It has to do with which libraries they use.

I know. But the comparison does not show anything if we compare the accepted projects for KDE containing an office suite and an instant messenger with the accepted projects of GNOME not containing those. The fair comparison is to compare GNOME with KDE-KOffice-Kopete because GNOME does not contain them, so KDE with them is a bigger project and, as such, could have received more projects.

What the hell are you talking about? Does Krita run without KDE installed? Does Gimp run without GNOME installed?

End of story.
