</div></div>While I understand the reason for it, from a user perspective the<br>
rebranding exercise was unwieldy and unpleasant. I fell over<br>
backwards trying to make every UserBase page comply, but often there<br>
was not a single way of phrasing a sentence that made the rebranding<br>
sound natural.<br>
<br>
I still use the preferred terms when I reasonably can, but frankly,<br>
most users use "KDE" as meaning the whole experience of using KDE<br>
software. To fall back on an old saying "Don't get your knickers in a<br>
twist" when things are not exactly as you'd like :-)<br>
