Interview: Aaron Seigo, KDE Project Lead (Sirius)

And for the curious, the two lines aseigo refers to, are not a quick hack or a special case
but part of a larger multipurpose API
Should look like:

int procs = Solid::Device::listFromType(Solid::DeviceInterface::Processor).count();

Weaver::instance()->setMaximumNumberOfThreads(procs*2);

I can not speak about differences between KDE API and GNOME API, never used seriously none of
both. If someone can write some equivalent GNOME code, a silly comparison can be done :P.
I have used Qt and GTK+ and Qt really really beats GTK+. 

GNOME moves really fast (the 6 month release schedule was a great idea), it has a clean and
simple interface and it is pretty stable. If I had to deploy an corporate environment I'd use
it. 
But KDE seems like the future for me, in 4.1 and 4.2 the several WIP components will be put in
place. And starting from 4.3 (where I think things will seem mature) will be much better than
anything.
