apps to be a huge blonde moment (male

kde developers want to jerk around
they're bored and get things half finished and then say
brand new here it is. This whole process
has been one the least professional processes I have been
through in computing in a very long
time. (Fedora / KDE people notwithstanding in this tirade
they as usual do a superb job) then
ignore their user base, well then there will be defection.
Which by the way I am seriously
considering and trust me when I say this is painful for me
since I have been a loyal and
passionate kde user for years as Rex can attest. But enough
is enough. If I wanted to install
super karamba I would have installed super karamb a. Now KDE
has pushed it down my throat in the
form of plasmoids the very least they could do is have the
thing work the way it should.
4.3 is a personal milestone for me. After a tirade like this
one, to be fair I will wait till
4.4 and leave without a whisper (I'm sure some are saying
yea!!! :) ) . KDE either works the
way it should or I will have to go elsewhere.
Thanks for Listening :)

Re desktop apps
A significant number of KDE users don't seem to like
Konqueror as is.
Very very few web designers seem to be testing again KHTML.
So I
believe Konqueror + KHMTL is going to be harmful to KDE for
quite some
time.
Until another browser comes along that integrates as well into the KDE experience, it's default here. Also, it can't use more than 20MB of RAM on startup. I think I'll be waiting for quite a while ;) .
