Well, as long as you don't accept that the typical desktop user basically 
wants to "do something" with his/her computer, not caring about how 
exactily the task is accomplished, you can of course argue away every need 
for a change.

Praise by whom? Geeks, developers, technical staff. If we want to provide a 
platform only for those people, I'll immediately stop any activity to 
promote KDE as a credible platform for professional software development.

We must make clear to everybody that KDE is _the_ platform for desktop 
software on linux/unix.
