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 need to learn to read the articles before you open your yap and spew out some knee-jerk reactions. The editorial AND the thread summation that followed were basically about interoperability, not about "merging" and "nullifying," as you put it. In fact, there was at least one point where it was mentioned that this was NOT about "merging." The editorial also made it clear that Linux really is still a great OS for the individual/private hacker, and there's nothing wrong with that. Go do what you want--I truly wish you all the best. But ignoring the big picture--that Linux is headed straight for the consumer and business desktops--is absurd. And your last post just shows that you've run out of ammo and are just grasping at rhetorical straws.
