Quoting: The tree view was originally omitted from the 4.0 release because it had to be completely rewritten using Interview, a model-view-controller framework for tree structures that was introduced in Qt 4. Good, I'm glad to hear it was technical problems and not because KDE was infiltrated with Gnome developers. Quoting: According to Penz, the commonly-requested feature will be restored in Konqueror, but not enabled by default in Dolphin, KDE's new user-friendly default file manager. How is removing useful features "user-friendly"? If you can't do anything, that's not very friendly. Dolphin is a big fat PITA that takes twice as many steps to do routine, simple tasks. Big Crayola icons and reduced functionality are not my ideas of user-friendly. |

Quoting:Big Crayola icons and reduced functionality are not my ideas of user-friendly. Nor mine. As Linus said "treat users like idiots, and idiots will use your stuff." |

Man, what is with this GNOME bashing lately? GNOME ain't evil folks. I have used KDE, GNOME, and XFCE in addition to other interfaces that have their strengths and weaknesses. |

>GNOME ain't evil folks Yes it is. The desire to look like the GNOME-based Ubuntu led the Kubuntu folks to package a thoroughly crappy "KDE" based distribution. |

*sigh*Quoting:The desire to look like the GNOME-based Ubuntu led the Kubuntu folks to package a thoroughly crappy "KDE" based distribution. I don't know if that's a failed attempt of humor or what. I hope so. |

>I don't know if that's a failed attempt of humor or what. I hope so. I hadn't really thought of kubuntu that way. Perhaps that explains it. More like a failed attempt at a distribution. |
