I would indeed like to know who makes steering decisions at KDE, and how they do it. Are users asked about anything, anytime? It's slightly unfair to charge against the volunteering developers, who would a priori deserve appreciation, but OTOH it is unacceptable to hijack such a flagship project as KDE from it's users in this way. That's why it's important to know how is the project driven. Activities could have been a nice and OPTIONAL addition to Plasma, but should have never been imposed this way because they suck in a very clear and unavoidable way: they only make sense with Activities-aware programs. My browser of choice is not part of KDE, not is my editor. They won't abide by whatever rules Activities will want to impose on them. VDs worked with anything that was inside s window. They worked even with Emacs. They also worked with KNotes, which "lived" in non-standard windows (but, OK, they were a KDE program). By the way, what happened to KNotes? So, Activities is a client lock-up kind of move much like those we (should) hate in Microsoft or Apple. In fact, I suspect that the people behind this move might have grown up "inspired" by Jobs. KDE 5 lacks not only the usability I enjoyed there, but also lacks AmaroK and KNotes. At this point, it's all the same to me to stay out switch. Either way, the good times will be in the past. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
