Ah, Schrödinger’s desktop development.
Refuse to implement something until there’s a robust open standard to use it with, without hacky workarounds, a la Gnome? Get shat on for not implementing a feature immediately.
Implement something quickly, but in a hacky roundabout way, hoping a standard comes soon and you can phase out your sub-optimal solution, a la KDE? Get shat on for wasting time on a solution that will be short-lived.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
