Re: ANNOUNCE: Public Desktop Environment

I'm writing this from KDE which I d/l'd earlier tonight.  In my opinion KDE
is just another variation of Win95.  It may be nice in the end for the
inexperienced, ofcourse what window manager isn't simple enough once
configured properly?  I'll be sticking with Afterstep.  I like the fact that
it's look and feel is almost completely up to me.

If they make it more customizable I may sway in that direction since I like
the more modern approach they've taken.  And QT does sound like it has alot
to offer X.

We'll see what the future holds for KDE.
