Leave all this colorful whistles to average monkey.
Ok, call me monkey average then :)
Yes i do.
Only this monkey is starting to work
on drivers for FreeBSD
And first wasting half of it's time for all this "cool stuff" instead of
work on drivers!
Of course we are happy someone works
worse, if I compare them to older versions. And if I try to
print pages, they look terrible (exceed page borders).
Furthermore, it crashes more often than Opera 5 or 7. When
do you have opera 7 package somewhere? i would like to downgrade.
yes it got very bad.
Ah yes, and Firefox doesn't have

Another fair comment, but they were still competing with Vista to the
punch and only just made it- consider the media releases around the time
of the Vista launch from the kde marketers. They were offering kde on M

let they compete how much as they like. be happy at least in this

had either followed the Debian approach of keeping KDE3 as the default,
or the FreeBSD approach of leaving it up to the user there wouldn't have
been such a problem. One of the worst aspect of OSS is the pervasive
attitude that software is either bleeding-edge, or it's obsolete.

People have to use KDE4 in significant numbers for it to mature. The
real problem was not that they released it, but that Linu
card because the latest NVidia binary driver doesn't support it). KDE3.5 does
what I want my window manager to do - keeps out of my way and works snappily
enough that I don't notice it.
The claim that KDE4 is faster than KDE3 is frankly incredible to me.
fastest and most stable is not using it a
to me like they've gone to compete with Vista and have succeeded there,
but I find some of the little extras and the core of it seem unfinished
somehow. The concept is good (in that it could compete with Vista), but
no it's bad. if they wat compete with windows, let they do the whole OS,

I think kde3 is going to be around for some time to come. Hopefully
kde4 will have improved by the time it's phased-out.
