This isn't about who made them.  This is about replacing the known, 
familiar KDE look with something different for no reason other than to be 
different.

This is about people coming out of the woodwork to bash the existing KDE 
look, calling it a copy, non-modern, and whatnot, when this existing 
default widget style has been default since KDE 2.0.

Modernization?  How is one more "modern" than another?  Can you define what 
looking "modern" means?  Are the old styles coal burning while keramik is 
electric?
