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.

[Nobody is treating him like shit. He brings that upon himself by generalizing and talking non-logical statements (aqua) and by not understanding the bigger picture that I try to present. He is exactly the type of guy I mention in the article about religions, so he doesn't like to hear about it. And he naturally gets pissed. I am grateful for all his work, but that doesn't mean we agree on everything about strategy.]
Ok, two things:
1. You can not say 'no one is treating him like shit' and then say 'he brings it upon himself' and then expect anyone to take you seriously when you claim that *I* am illogical. For the record, the first part is true: no one is treating _me_ like shit, but Eugenia is insulting to Free Software developers in general
2. I don't have religion about this and I disagree with you. Claiming that I am religious just because I disagree is stupid. We disagree about the future of the Unix desktop. You feel it won't go anywhere unless all the choice and cool differences are eliminated and I feel otherwise.
Luckily, I am helping to make my version of the future happen while you just write stupid articles and hope others will listen to your 'big picture'. Another notable difference between you and I ... I use a Free Desktop every day and you are still stuck using your closed system.
