1 I have not seen KDE add a single feature or even fix a single bug (while
2 letting new bugs pile up) in FIVE YEARS. They version bump their entire
3 suite for no reason every five minutes but nothing gets even slightly
4 better. KDE has'nt been worth anything since the QT4 cataclysm, 3.59 was
5 pretty darn good. =\ Kdevelop3 only needed to be restarted once a
6 week... You could binge program with it for an ENTIRE WEEK without
7 restarting it... It had some wonderful class inheratance heirarchy
8 graphing tools so that you could learn codebases nice and quick and go
9 in and refactor them.

11 Unfortunately I don't think even Don Corleone could get me a programming
12 job. =(

14 How did they make it so that 40% of ordinary zip files I try to open
15 with konqueror fail CRC (but work perfectly from the command line)....
16
17 It used to have nice large icon mode with previews, and nice small-icons
18 in normal mode... Broken too for many months now. =\
19
20 Akregator crashes all the time if I simply try to close a tab... It went
21 about three years without saving anything to disk when it's supposed to
22 buffer my RSS feeds. Now it's just crashtastic in the extreme...
23
24 FVWM seems to need an update for the new X11, icons still broken, can't
25 fullscreen a window properly anymore. -- Used to work great far like
26 FIFTEEN FRIGGIN YEARS WITHOUT USER INTERVENTION!!!!!
27
28 Microsoft must be paying Good Money (tm) to the FS developers to keep
29 breaking stuff at this rate. =|
