[en] and the show begins

quoted from interview with Linus Torvalds:
- “Another open source project that underwent a big change was KDE with version 4.0. They released a lot of fundamental architectural changes with 4.0 and it received some negative reviews. As a KDE user how has this impacted you?”

-”I used to be a KDE user. I thought KDE 4.0 was such a disaster I switched to GNOME. I hate the fact that my right button doesn’t do what I want it to do. But the whole “break everything” model is painful for users and they can choose to use something else.

I realise the reason for the 4.0 release, but I think they did it badly. They did so may changes it was a half-baked release. It may turn out to be the right decision in the end and I will re-try KDE, but I suspect I’m not the only person they lost. “[1]

    Zamanında GNOME’a taş atan birinden bunları duymak güzel. Bir de dilinin eskiye göre daha yumuşak olduğunu da görmüş olduk. Birileri kulağını mı çekti nedir :)
