What? Do you have the slightest idea what you are talking about?
Explain further please.

What was the point of your link. None of the problems talked about were anything to do with qt.

But apart from all that I really dont give a rats a*** what people develop on. If it worries you that much contact Motorolla. I'm sure they will value your opinion highly.

a lot more than you it seems. you may have noticed that qt isn't exactly the most conventional to say the least. its quite a bit different from normal C++. also, C++ is very difficult to produce bindings for...Qt even more so because standard C++ isn't used. there are some half hearted bindings available for qt but they are extrememely incomplete at best....and these will always been years behind qt because they will always been playing a very slow(given the difficulty of producing bndings for qt) game of catchup. so unless you're a dedicated C++ developer in Qt, gtk is the easier by far.

you are an idiot...

because i'm an idiot, i need everything explaining to me in the most minute of detail. so please explain what exactly about what i've written there led you to drawing that conclusion, oh wise one?

I certainly don't see where is this discussion going to. Toolkits have nothing to do with the Desktop Environments orther than providing the widgets and programming interface for them. Having a discussion over the toolkits is fine an all, but do you consider it worth name-calling, jeezledoop? If you have nothing to add, correct or discuss about the issue and what other posters have said, why not just skip the message and not answer? Name-calling, in this case, makes you look like the fool, not the one providing the argumentation, so if you have nothing to add, why even bother?

In any case, as Jeremy has already warned in this very thread, let's keep things clean and in order. Let's avoid closing this thread and take any "hot" discussions to another (dedicated) thread and keep this one to the point, shall we?

I use KDE on all my Linux boxes, it is just all there.

Birds of a feather flock together. Should've known youd be along

I started as a Gnome user but switched to KDE after 8 months. i like the eye-candy a lot ( i consider myself more of a general home user ) but there are several strengths in Gnome. for instance i prefer Nautilus way over KDE's file manager ( heck, its the only file manager i use in KDE :P ). the introduction of XGL should give Gnome a push in the right direction ( i heard it only workd on gnome..i think ) and with Plasma in KDE4 i think the only winner in the end is the user

you still haven't answered my question. and while you're thinking of a reply, you can have a good read of this
http://themoddingden.objectis.net/interviews/simplekde

its exactly as i've been saying.

I've steered away from KDE because it often has security updates and one update usually means a whole slew of updates, while I was on a modem it took too long. Gnome or KDE it's just way too many dependencies. When was the last time you compiled Gnome from scratch, not nice. I sometimes feel KDE is trying to take over the desktop, I seem to loose access to my fave gtk apps and all I see is a k world. Themes which carry across gnome & kde & all other gui apps for a consistent user experience. I like some k and some g apps but don't want to load 150 MB for a couple of neat apps, so I avoid both.

I love Gnome but I love KDE more

I did answer your question. You got the only answer that could do justice to that load of shit you posted.

As for simplekde, its nothing more than someone trying to make a name for himself as a usability expert. Good luck to him. You can see the luke warm reaction from kde users in the comments too. Oh and dont bother quoting the posts of your sad fellow gnome fanboys who see this little project as some sort of endorsement of gnomes cock ups.

I feel so sorry for you. It really burns you up that KDE is so popular. Thats why you spend your life on forums like this trying every way you can to convince the world how superior your beloved gnome is. But no one listens,do they? People just keep on using what they want to use. Why?, because people are a lot smarter than you give them credit for. If you want to speak to me more about this, please wait till the results of the poll are announced and I will be only too glad to rub your sad pathetic little face in it.

I think gnome is just a better looking environment. It doesnt have that marshmallow look of KDE. But then again I am still a novice with Linux. Although just from looking at the KDE screen, it gives me a warm fuzzy safe feeling, and the icons are enormous. It seems well suited to be used on school computers rather than what they currently use. In a sense, the eye candy makes me automatically feel like there is going to be reduced functionality based on previous experiences with graphic intensive games that only had three levels, or awesome looking user interfaces on cell phones that dont give logical menu paths (when all you want to do is change your damn ring tone). I have not had a bad experience with KDE, but Gnome seems more logical in its arrangement.

seems like that article exposing the many inherent failings of kde really got to you. now stop being such a silly little man and answer my question that you keep on avoiding.

ps Emre Sokulla is a kde developer, not a usability expert.

Emre Sokulla is NOT a KDE developer, but I agree with you totally that he is not a usability expert
