> Martin, do you really mean to say you will define some imaginary "target users" thus excluding anyone that does not match? Seriously? 

Yes, that is how you do actual software development, by defining the end users
and their needs, followed by use-cases. We actually even have them defined, see
here: http://community.kde.org/KTp/Usability Also note, that these are very
similar to the rest of KDE personas.

> what next, if you were plasma devs would you force me to use widgets of certain size only

FYI, there will be a grid in the next plasma2 and yes, that will let you resize
only to a certain sizes. Sorry for the bad news.

> Hell... you shall really read Orwell 

And some reading for you: http://www.kde.org/code-of-conduct/

> If users are to get used to whatever the devs decide then whats the point of KDE? 

KDE is not about developers having to provide options for every single bits of
UI and every single user out there. This is nowhere written. We decided how the
contact list is layouted. People got used to it. We decided what colors will
text-ui tabs have when the user is typing. People got used to it. And I can
give you many more examples. So yes, we can make a decision and yes people will
get used to it. It works.

As for this particular case, Thomas is a usability expert, I trust him. Many
things in KTp are the result of his advices and it just works(tm).
