Well Hello Linux-Java, |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
I'll attempt to give you some non-subjective reasons |
| 10 |
for KDE. Let me start out by saying, depending on what |
| 11 |
you are doing and what are your key applications, Gnome |
| 12 |
might be good for you. It's an excellent body of work. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
However, hear are some of the reasons I like KDE, not that |
| 15 |
all of these ideas are exclusive to KDE: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
QT. As an engineer involved in embeddded product development, |
| 18 |
nothing is close to being as cool as QT. QT is a corner stone |
| 19 |
of KDE, so when I have to drill down into the morass of details |
| 20 |
concerning display graphics, icons, etc, KDE's affinity for QT |
| 21 |
is similar, only much more complex, than many of the graphical |
| 22 |
technologies installed on embedded systems. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I believe that the future of GUIs will necessitate that one's |
| 25 |
desktop environment be at least a cousin to the embedded devices |
| 26 |
one is responsible for building and managing. QT's future looks bright. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
JAVA: Unlike many linux folks, I believe that JAVA has a primary role |
| 29 |
in the future of GUIs, applications, and many other aspects |
| 30 |
of computing. I like the integration of KDE/QT/JAVA that the |
| 31 |
kde camps sees and continues to enhance, for example: |
| 32 |
http://developer.kde.org/language-bindings/java/ |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Again, I'm not saying you cannot find these equivalents in Gnome, but |
| 35 |
KDE fits my needs keenly. The real kicker is that KDE 4.0 is |
| 36 |
suppose to be fantastic. |
| 37 |

HTH, |
