KDE Rules!
by David Bishop on Wednesday 29/Aug/2001, @16:03

And Gnome drools! Or something like that.... *grin* I seriously think 1/2 of the "desktop flamewars" result because people /need/ a "home team" to cheer on. And if you're cheering someone on, it's only one step to jeering at someone else. So let's all celebrate this as very nice recognition of all the hard work that volunteers have put into this, and keep it civil! Woohoo!
P.S. As the (4th? 5th?) comment posted, nobody's yet said anything about Gnome, so consider this a premptive strike ;-) |

Well I'm mostly a Gnome app on xfce desktop user - but I still say congratulations. KDE has been through licensing problems, compiler hell and more and its not just survived - its still growing

Me too

I prefer Gtk/Gnome on X, but KDE is still a great project. :) Not my taste (besides of KHTML which is unbelievable outstanding), but what does it matter?
KDE was the first thing I saw when running GNU/Linux for the first time... it was a great feeling... :) KDE 1.x thought... I kinda miss it... *sigh* :)
There is some really bad thing about Computers and Software... everything is evolving so fast, that you have plenty of things to miss. :(
I miss the C64, the good old MSDOS, KDE 1, etc.
BTW, please all KDE developers (and fans of course), please stop beeing so nasty about Ximian.
They just do their job and I can't remember that they spoke about KDE once, while there is plenty of talk about Ximian in the KDE camp and even TheKompany does it from time to time.
I was really happy when Gnome invited KDE develoeers to Guadec, I hoped it would have changed some minds.
BTW, KDE is absolutely not better than Gnome, whatever you might think. It's just different.
Like BeOS is not better or weaker than X, it's just different.

Oh man, in light of recent events, that is just not a good comparison :-|

The reason there is ("was" would probably be more appropriate) so much talk about Ximian, is because of their past behavior. Miguel made a lot of nasty comments about KDE shortly after GNOME was started. In addition to that the Ximian ad campaign on Google was not the nicest thing either.
Hopefully, these things will not repeat itself again. Currently it looks like there is more cooperation than competition going on (between the desktops) and that is a good thing.

I agree, KDE does rule! I didn't like it much before, but last night I played with 3.4 for a few hours, and I must say I am very impressed. They cleaned it up a LOT. My old laptop couldn't even run it before without heavily swapping on the HD (I only have 192MB RAM), but now it only uses half of my memory, which obviously makes the computer run much faster. Another thing I was very happy to see was the absence of many buttons on Konqueror. It has a much cleaner interface now. Anyway, I just wanted to say great job to the many people working on KDE!

Yet more GNOME bashing...

> And Gnome drools!
Really... why do you even mention GNOME? GNOME has a different goal than KDE and if you look at the news then you'll notice that they're definitely not drooling but making lots of progress.
So stop this useless and off-topic crap about someone-elses-desktop is better than yet-again-someone-elses-desktop-which-has-a-different-goal.
You don't hear the GNOME team whining about how Bonobo is technically superior before XParts was born, do you?

ROTFL!!! Did you even bother reading the rest of my comment??? To quote:
"So let's all celebrate this as very nice recognition of all the hard work that volunteers have put into this, and keep it civil!"
The entire tone of my message was (supposed to be) let's cheer on the home team without resorting to jeering the "other team". Sorry if that wasn't excruciatingly clear :-)
