And there's good things about that two. KDE is very diverse for it.

I'm sorry I got carried away on the critisism, I have a lot of respect for the 
people who volunteer ther time and energy for free. I do love KDE and its 
philosophy, overall I think its approach is right. I try to remind myself how 
terrible KDE 4.0 - 4.2 felt at times and the future seemed pretty bleak then, 
whereas now - kicks ass. Given that kdepim started somewhat later on the curve 
I hope in a couple of years time it to will be kicking all sorts of ass across 
the field. You can see the start of it now, but I do think there' a lot of 
work to go yet and some very big use cases are being ignored.

Thanks Will.
