Canonical pulls the plug on KubuntuCanonical pulls the plug on KubuntuPosted Feb 7, 2012 15:05 UTC (Tue) by Cyberax (✭ supporter ✭, #52523)In reply to: Canonical pulls the plug on Kubuntu by Pawlerson Parent article: Canonical pulls funding from Kubuntu
Gnome3 at least tries to work with its users. That can't be said about KDE.
I think they've drifted way too far into Plasma-land to care about worldly matters anymore.

Not sure where you got your experience from. My experience with the KDE community and Kubuntu in particular has been very positive. I will actually claim that no other DE goes to such lengths to satisfy it's users. Are you sure you know what you are missing out on?

It sounds like a joke. Gnome 3 not only broke user experience, but also stole the ability to customize your desktop. It's the last project that works with its users, really. Ask yourself why Gnome is so divided now?

It took me along time to switch from KDE 3 to KDE 4. I finally upgrade with KDE 4.5. Before that, things crashed. I wouldn't recommend anyone KDE 4.0 ... 4.4.
Since 4.5 IMO it's rock stable and beautiful. I didn't even switch the wallpaper or the window decaration, what I always did before. It just looks beautiful and is more configurable than ever (if you want to).

Entirely agree. I have been a KDE user since 1998 (with intermittent escapes to Gnome and GNUstep) and I almost gave up at KDE 4.1. But I'd say for the last two years, I did not meet a major problem except the classical wireless manager issue (and that is not a KDE problem), very easily fixed. And in my workplace, more and more users are selecting KDE over Gnome when they receive their new machine.
