Concistancy is important. And our users value it: --------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: KDE... quite impressive Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2002 13:32:51 -0400 (EDT) From: Michael Chang Dear Kurt (and the entire KDE team)... First: Wow. KDE is a very impressive desktop environment. The first time I tried KDE was years and years ago, and it just didn't fi= t well with me. Granted, neither did any environment for X, but it was GNOME that I ended up staying with. It was only this past month, however, when a friend of mine told me to check out the new KDE. Since the very first moment when I switched to KDE, I've been extremely impressed --- in fact, I'm sure I'll never run GNOME again, as long as I have a choice. Anyway, I'd like to take my hat off to all of you. Some nice things to note: KDE is quite fast (I really never have to wait)= ; it's stable (not only has it not crashed yet, but I haven't even seen one tiny glitch); it's pretty; the interface design and the layout have obviously been thought-out well --- I'm joyed to see consistency in widge= t placement (finally, I don't have to *look* for the placement of default buttons, since they seem more or less "standardized," therefore I get to incorporate motor memory with regard to where I click); Konqueror is, ver= y honestly, the FASTEST BROWSER that I have ever used, and it actually supports CSS and ECMA script, something that's hard to find on a UNIX/Linux platform. Overall, I can tell that KDE is a very integrated desktop, unlike other U= Is that seem to be a mish-mash of pieces that don't fit together well. KDE is easily more of a good example of where UNIX/Linux desktops should be heading toward. I wish all of you the best of luck, and I hope that your hard work will pay off more and more in the years to come.
