KDE is the most advanced desktop I've used (that doesn't include vista's |
| 5 |
'new' desktop). The desktop that ships with OSX may come close to KDE |
| 6 |
for features but it is styled to the point of annoyance both because the |
| 7 |
UI and because the theme is inextricably welded onto the distro just |
| 8 |
like windows. Each major release of KDE3 has introduced many amazing |
| 9 |
new features and all of that happened in the last 4 years, and KDE4 |
| 10 |
promises to be even more amazing, who cares what their schedule is. |

The one great blight of KDE also happens to be related to its strengths |
| 13 |
and that is that kcontrol is the most nested widget-laden application in |
| 14 |
the history of the world. I've actually spent hours scouring for the |
| 15 |
one elusive checkbox only to find it days later after I had long given |
| 16 |
up. For simplicity of UI gconf-editor is much nicer even though it's |
| 17 |
not the 'official' way to edit gconf-keys. |
