Editorial 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.

RE: What an insult!

No, it was not an insult. The wording is "better product" as in "commercial product" not "better software". Of course and you DO want your project to be better, but not necessarily in the same ways a commercial PRODUCT would want to be.
Sorry for the wording mix up there.

Of course!!! This is why the title says SOME people. NOT all. Don't generalize more than I did, please. ;)
