The article yesterday on KDE4 triggered both Sebastian Kuegler and Aaron Seigo to respond via their blogs. Kuegler writes: "The Free Desktop and KDE have come a long way during the last years. There have been various huge changes in KDE's social structure, in it's infrastructure and of course in the sourcecode itself. I've split this into three different areas where I think a shift in paradigm has taken place." Seigo writes: "Mark my words: KDE4 is a revolution unfolding and you're getting to watch it all happen from the very beginning."

it's not what desktop to you log into alone, but the applications you use as well.
so for all those gnome desktop users who use a kde app or 2 (or 3 or 4 or..) and all those kde desktop users who use a gnome app or 2 (or ..) .. this is indeed the spice of life.
somewhere along the way people got confused that the issue was "which desktop you log into" (which has made standardization harder; the reasons for this lie in basic game theory =) when the real issue is "what apps you use" where the desktop is a collection of a few apps (panel, desktop, window manager, etc..)

I use Ubuntu as my main OS for one year now, I discovered it one other year earlier when I was getting tired of Apple after another twelve years. Never got involved with MS products for obscure reasons, they just didn't inspire me.
I had great expectations of Mac OS X and I liked it when I started to use it in April 2002. I had a wonderful time discovering the world of POSIX, spent little fortunes to upgrade my favorite apps though ...
Ubuntu Linux, with Gnome as DE was a revelation, very Mac OS X like. I tried KDE several times; this DE has its charms as well, Amarok, Digikam, K3B and Kile are genuine killer apps, aren't they?
So I'll continue to play with KDE, in spite of the fact that Gnome is still my default DE, I'm looking forward to KDE 4 because it's a wonderful thing to have choices.
