Right, that's also a reason why I'm still using Konqueror. |

In early KDE4 keditbookmarks was totally unusable, I think it was not |
28 |
even possible to move bookmarks around. This has been fixed, but it still |
29 |
crashes often, and the problem I mentioned is quite reproducible. It does |
30 |
not happen every time, but it happens a lot. And that it additionally |
31 |
deletes the very first folder completely is especially annoying, because |
32 |
I did not realize this until much later, when needed the bookmark. |
33 |
Here's a report: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=255611 |

And I think this is a big problem with KDE4. Such bugs exist for years, |
36 |
and noone seems to care much. Could you imagine Firefox's bookmark editor |
37 |
to be buggy for two years, or Internet Explorer? No, this sort of |
38 |
problems exists in KDE4 only I think. |

Sorry for the ranting, I know this is free software and so on, but these |
41 |
are the things that make it hard for me to recommend KDE4 to others. |
42 |
People just expect simple things like bookmark editors to work. But |
43 |
instead they crash, and they delete data when doing so. I'm, still a big |
44 |
fan of KDE4, and would not like to change, but I do not recommend it to |
45 |
others. And of course my mom's Laptup runs Gnome, not KDE. |
