Of course we gain credibility by having myths discussed by some
supposed third independent party....but would I trust info from a site
called urbanlizard?  Doubtful.

Doesn't seem far from: geospace/users/~wolson/why_kde_rocks.html

The insulting part: to be honest, due to KDE's curent site layout and
hierarchy, I pretty much google everything to get to a certain KDE
location.  Trying to dig through to get info from links or search just
makes me punch things.  My equipment thanks me for googling isntead.
I'm afraid I need to confirm this. That's what I do too.
