Puns are pointless here -- especially old cold dried-up ones. You are reading an interpretation into my words which had not occurred to me, and which I disavow. My whole point was not to assign blame -- for all I know, some people may *like* the way things are, and consider praise due. I *asked* several questions (not just the one you quote out of context), all leading to the same basic thing which I don't know and want to : where best to raise the issue. That was and is a real question. *Why* do I get so much more info about Gnome apps than KDE ones, *who* could change that, and *where* can I make the request and expect it to be on topic? You might have noted that I went out of my way to praise certain KDE apps, and to explain that I would like to find others, if they exist, which I would like as well. > It goes both ways.

Btw, it is true that I happen to be one of those who despise and detest the Apple interface as much as I do the M$ one -- if that discomfits you, so be it -- but the fact is altogether beside the point of my post. Apple, and the sneers of its admirers against the uninitiated, was a mere example, as was Stefan George.
