Hi Jack,

A lot of it is emotional reation to stuff under the same umbrella, so
in that regard you're safe, always assuming you're not employed at
Troubleshooters.Com :-)

A lot of people read my opinion of KDE and say "what? KDE has never
malfunctioned for me!" If it doesn't malfunction for someone, there's
no issue for that person.

To me, the deeper issue is KDE's belief that all apps should be tied to
each other. Everything depends on everything else.


Thanks,
