Last I tried it, you can't run much of that stuff without the |
| 12 |
whole "kdeinit" thing, which is a giant resource hog (relatively |
| 13 |
speaking, for those of us accustomed to running trim, fast, light |
| 14 |
systems). That why I said it's become like an OS unto itself. |
| 15 |
I remember when people used to carry on about bloaty GNUstep libs, |
| 16 |
and I said "but those *are* small, fast, and light" and people |
| 17 |
responded to me in the manner I've responded to kde people who say |
| 18 |
that about kde. So it really is all quite relative... |

My standard is simple: it has to be able to work without a mouse, |
| 22 |
and when I hit the keys, I want to see results *immediately* -- |
| 23 |
real results, not a "wait" dialog or spinny thing. |
