I'm quite sure there are apps that are more important for some, like 
networking and server type stuff, but you would think in this internet 
oriented world that web development tools would be very close to the top 
of the list. Treating web development as a red headed step child in this 
day and age is in-excusable.

I don't have a problem with KDE 4.x being a resource hog or slowing down 
my computer. My computer isn't all that "super machine". It "is" a dual 
core 64 bit 3gig processor with 1.5 gigs memory about four years old. I 
don't use all that "widget stuff" though. Just the bare minimum. When 
you see a clear desktop there is nothing there but the wall paper. Quite 
a bit of the time I have seven or eight apps open all the time, 
scattered around different desktops, with no problem.
