Hmm, to be honest: I was somehow shocked about Dre's interview. I always 
stated that KDE's people would never say bad words about GNOME like some 
GNOME developers did about KDE. Sadly this seems not to be true anymore. 
Comparing GTK+ with Win 3.1 is very unfair IMHO and there is no reason to do 
so. (I hate Win 3.1 and I think it is the worst desktop out there.)

So to get this right: this is no flame at all, I just want to express that in 
my opinion the words of Dre were a bit much. And I would really appreciate it 
if this was the first and the last time someone said bad words about GNOME if 
he/she is officially associated with KDE. Sure, I totally agree that KDE is 
way ahead of GNOME, but if you bash the other desktop this does not help KDE. 
On the contrary.

Ciao,
  Michael (KDE user/developer)

PS: I didn't sent this to kde-devel to keep it at least to some degree 
private. I hope this is ok.
