Yeah, a rant were I explicitly stated that I *love* KDE. I'm using it for decades now, with an interruption when 4 was just released and it was pretty unusable for the first couple of versions. Was there anything objectively wrong with what I wrote? I really wonder what it is with German projects (wikipedia-de being another example) and the way they respond to user criticism. You know, when your first couple of messages are ignored, and this goes on for years, the tone tends to shift. It's frustration, pure and simple. It's invariably a German developer that comes in and lays down the law like "This feature is gone and won't come back. We have decided that you don't need this feature. Be silent from now on, case closed." I don't say that you have to coddle users either, if somebody comments in a rude manner, it's perfectly acceptable to respond in kind. But damn it, address the issues at least. This "wah wah wah you are not nice enough, get lost" is getting old. I'm aware that bug-trackers are not the place for this kind of more general comment, but then again, is there any forum where the direction of KDE/Plasma is discussed and people can vent their frustrations? Maybe that's the reason why there are such bizarre decisions as regarding the overall direction of the project if those in charge are only surrounded by yay-sayers. Just a case in point: when Qt6 comes around, will KDE/Plasma start this whole spiel again? *Years* of unstable releases until feature-parity is reached again, with some odd features that differentiated Plasma dropped yet again? If you really think that I write this rather long comments just because I want to disparage devs or ridicule Plasma, you are sadly mistaken. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
