IMO python should be banned from real development. I dislike the new KDE most of all because they relay on python too much. Open source - no any kind of standard ... and this is the fastest way to make something bad out of pretty every idea. Also your other points are really good. Especially KDE dependencies ... you end up installing all kind of unwanted/unnecessary software. I was wondering at some point of time ... are those developers based in Peru, where c***in is legal and they take too much ... unbelievable. Also they got ressistent to any opposite opinion ... much like the so called democrats in the US. I'm just wondering what's going on with the people on this world ... and come to the conclusion that a lot of them are crazy - literally - psychopats, sociopaths and any kind of ***paths. Perhaps I'm getting old, but this can't be the only reason, as others feel/think the same as I do ... so Reco, don't worry - the only way is to patiently push your ideas or find people like you and work together. We can not stop the wave of idiocracy that takes over via face book, twitter and all of the kind unnecessary gossip channels. What I do is trying to make things work for me and perhaps help this way others, which is the basic of open source contributions. I however do not expect that this nonsense will stop. I expect the opposite looking at the 20-30y old. In 10y the mess will be complete. regards
