KDE rhythms with hidious car wreck
by davidnielsen
I doubt any KDE fanboys read a blog called The GNOME Commentary anyways, I can make fun of their design guidelines a bit.
Empty space = a feature is missing or an ikon could be placed there.
Preferences module has less than 6 tabs = BacK to the drawing board.
Program name kontains less than 6 K’s = Clearly a mistake, rename promptly.
Use of a FreeDesktop.org standard = a sign that wheel reinvention is required, rip out pointless support and reimplement from scratch.
Usability study shows application to be flawed = blame users for their in ability to grasp the finer points of using KDE – convinently located in the about section, tab 12, next to the trolling guide.
Software consistently inferior to GNOME = A reason to spread FUD about GNOME feature removal czar, Havoc.
A distro selects to replace your software with GNOME software = immidately unleash the KDE fanboys to complain about lack of choice, convinently forget that with each distro that maltreats GNOME choice is considered unimportant.
There’s an experimental, not yet ready for use binutils feature out = implement support, label ready for production use, pray to aseigo that nothing blows up.
Personally I just tell people to use GNOME.

I don’t really care how many tabs there are in a dialog, or how poluted the menus are. I care about how productive I am in an environment. The points you mention may have an impact in that or not, that depends. Usually I find the needed functionality quite fast. But having for example no opportunity to say that I want the printout in “draft” mode (yes, I use that ‘feature’ very often) under a Gnome’s print dialog makes me highly unproductive (my printer takes 10 times as long to print 100 pages in normal mode). And because I am quite old I prefer to configure all key-shortcuts to the ones I use since many many years and don’t want to learn new shortcuts. KDE gives me that possibility, Gnome doesn’t. KDE looks sometimes quite inelegant (especially if you leave the default toolbars), but I get my work done faster and feel good in KDE, and that’s the only things that counts for me.
Personally I just tell people to install both GNOME and KDE and use whatever they prefer. Some of the friends I got to switch from Windows to Linux use Gnome, some use KDE. Everyone is quite happy with his desktop.
Some people, yourself included, just don’t take a joke well – Do I really need to start using sarcasm tags?
Klearly your KDE konditioning has worn off a bit 😛
I did actually write the entire post replacing every c with a k, but it just looked WAY to silly and honestly KDE has gotten bekker at nok usink thke k so much, much like GNOME stopped the G silliness a while back.
hehe, nice.
