A KDE developer tipped me off to a recent thread discussed in the kde-core-devel mailing list regarding interoperability between KDE and Gnome. OSNews featured an interview with the usability experts from Gnome and KDE a few days ago and we expected that the spirit of co-operation would continue to get stronger every day. Luckily this is true regarding most of these developers, but not for all of them are sharing it. Here is a commentary on the issue followed by a summary of the long thread.

Could anyone name two PC audio workstation programs that look the same?
Logic has a totally different gui and widgets to Cubase, which is nothing like Sonar, which is nothing like Pro tools. They all have different key bindings, different menus etc etc.
If four programs that do the same basic task can have completely different widget sets and guis, but be totally acceptable to their users, why is there so much emphasis on apps all looking the same?
Sometimes, the best interface for a program is the one works best for that task, not just the one provided by the OS you use.
