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.
Having two different desktop platforms is brain damage, and pisses off virtually all 3rd party developers who aren't tied to any one desktop.
Exactly, why is GNOME being created then ? They should have thought 6 years ago about this issue and we wouldn't have all these flamages these days. They made the mistake in splitting up the community by creating another Desktop for Linux and today exactly these people who created GNOME 6 years ago whine on other peoples irc channel about KDE being far ahead over GNOME.
... What a sad reality eh ?
