offlineSpectral HamsterFuck gnome. Jk. But I say instead of working on Gnome -and- KDE, just work on KDE. Then when we have that sort of stable, we run off into Gnome.

offlineMemberI think he's insinuating that Gnome users are behind the times, an argument I won't get into because the truth is that KDE users are, and it's simply not worth arguing.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes.Posted 7 months ago # -

offlinecaptain of teh failtrainAs much as I disagree, I will confess that some things about KDE, such as their development philosophy, the lack of any real solid QA team, and the fact that they're over-emphasizing looks over functionality after the 4.x release really bugs me. But, that doesn't make them "behind the times". With that reasoning, you could argue all desktop environments are behind the times, because they don't have Win7 style application launcher/taskbar hybrid panels, or they don't come with a global menubar out of the box, etc.
Anyway, it's probably not worth arguing but it is discussing, perhaps on the "debates" forum. But the day GNOME ceases to be a stagnant piece of Windows memorabilia, or XFCE loses the Windows-style configuration and goes back to their roots (pre 4.5) instead of going in 9999 different directions, or GTK/XUL/OMG/WTF/BBQ applications look somewhat integrated and sane on all platforms and share the same freaking toolbar settings or icon size settings, that will be the day I switch to a different desktop environment.
But if window tabbing (not saying it's the best thing in the world or anything, keep in mind fluxbox has had it for years, and so have various other window managers), a centralized, integrated PIM storage service (akonadi + nepomuk) that literally _all_ my everyday applications can use and share data with, a UI that has its limitations but has an amount of flexibility that I can make it look and function how I want it to rather than having to live in 1990 with a win2k UI, and friendly developers who actually listen to their users instead of being elitist, stereotypical FOSS developers focused only on their antique presumptions and misinformation about "defaults" and "usability", AND constant, productive development with releases bi-annually to boot are "behind the times", then I'd rather be behind the times than live in a year that heralds "Windows 7" and "Snow Leopard" as "modern" operating systems that define how "modern" computers' UIs should be like.
...
Crap, now you got me started.

offlineSpectral HamsterRofl. Boy, am I troll bait. I didn't mean any of that. I simply meant that since we're basing on KDE first, we should get it solid, then work on other "features" of BongOS, in this case GNOME.
