Hi

Its not childish. Its a fact. The screenshot shows a bad UI. Any longterm user of that program will tell you exactly that. Its UI has actually degraded than it was before.

I hardly think that looking at a screenshot of the much aclaimed Textpad and saying it looks terrible is a good critical review of an application. Its fair enough to make comments on the UI, but the post was written in the sense that the screenshot is poor so there is no point looking any further. Emacs and vi are widely used text editors and their screenshots are not what sells them either.

I am aware screenshots are useful, but many comments on this topic just reek of elitism. It's nice to be proud of KDE but don't let it cloud your judgement or attitude when somebody prefers something else.

arts->mas
libart->cairo
xfree86->xlibs/xserver
openssh->lsh
openssl->gnutls

For kde-3.3 (compile time config) or kde-4.0 (native default)?

What´s wrong with openssh?
And isn´t gnutls immature?

Just remmebered few discussions in the past about moving more and more programs (and binded programs) to GPL, and both openssh/openssl are using the BSD license.

Sure gnutls is immature, but so is kde-4.0 ;-).

openssh has had more few security holes and lsh is more gnu-like and generally better thought out, imho. (lsh lacks mainly an agent and agent-forwarding.)

gnutls isn't immature anymore, they're past 1.0 and works on a devel branch. 1.0.x works great for me.
