Calm down. I called it a "working title". Which usually does not say 
anything about the real final title. It only is descriptive about the
raw outline of its content.

Also, it is not "negative comparative marketing". It is positive about
KDE. And even what you call negative comparative marketing is to be 
viewed differently, if...

 a) ...it is backed up with facts and screenshots, and if it is
       clearly characterized as a personal preference thing too;

 b) ...it is not against a fellow FOSS project, but against someone
       "from the outside";

Cheers,
Kurt
