KDE is a community, so if you call that "unprofessional" you should maybe 
have a look at Mozilla: they seem to have more managers than coders, they 
seem to spend more time managing bugs than fixing them. Do you call that 
"professional"?

The guy at Heise has the same problem: he doesn't get that KDE is a real 
open source project - it's not a democracy, but there's also no boss who 
tells others what to do. It's just some people developing software. And 
there's no reason to change that so that it is easier for companies to 
"work with" KDE.

KDE is successfull *because* it's a real open source community. If 
companies like the "it doesn't cost anything" aspect but dislike the "it's 
written by people who actually have their own opinion" aspect that their 
problem.

 Daniel
