well first off watch your tougne as you hurt my dainty little ears ;-)
secondly, your right!
it comes down to the fact of personal opinion, and i personally think dcgui-qt ROCKS and is way better than any DC client that exists in the windows world, and linux world for that matter ...
as of dc_qt i did try a while ago, before i knew of dcgui-qt and it never ever worked properly, and then i found all these little tweaks that you had to perform to get a download goin, but the thing was that them little tweaks didn't work, and i couldn't rarely ever download anything with it, so i canned that program i thats when i discovered dcgui-qt ... and i'll never turn back
i have never tried quickDC so i can't comment ....
so i don't know what you want outta this thread, but i will still recommend dcgui-qt ...
maybe even try a different theme ... i know what you mean about it being a hog at times ... but sometimes a
lighter theme may help you out, if any ...
