I can't see anybody choosing to use KDE now if they did not use it before. On the other hand, I switched from Gnome to KDE 3.5 about 6 months ago, and liked it pretty well. Learned to use dcop and get some nice background effects. When KDE 4 came out, I installed it and most of the stuff I really liked about KDE was gone, and could not get any advice on the kde mailing lists about how to find the features I wanted. The KDE website had no documentation for version 4, especially when you wanted to do something other than find a way to open a panel or a clock. Nobody knew how to access dbus to run commands to change the background or stuff like that. The common answer was "KDE 4 is not ready yet.." Maybe Fedora is administering tough love to KDE. Or, if the Fedora team really does prefer Gnome (and there are historical reasons why they ought to), they are giving the KDE group "enough rope to hang themselves". pj -- Paul E.
