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.

> You have lost a lot of credibility in my eyes for disparaging those of us who do not work for commercial companies.
First of all, only SOME of you are getting the hot cake from my article. There are plenty of individual hackers who are very cooperative and they "get it". But others don't.
Linux has become commercial a lot, it is naive to think otherwise. Some rules have changed over the years. And personally, I find that positive for the Linux platform adoption.
>just because you like RedHat
Knee jerk (non)thinking. Sorry.
I don't "like" Red Hat, neither I "like" Mandrake or SuSE. None of them is paying for my monthly rent. Heck, I don't even use Linux as much as I use XP or OSX (which I prefer for desktop operations).
But what I wrote is SIMPLY what I believe it should be done if you want to see Linux as a desktop platform having more than 0,40% of the market. If you want to leave things as is, that's fine for me. But IF Linux platform wants to get more users and PROVE all that hype it's got, then you better co-operate.
