In *waaaay* too much detail. I really did not want to be "too" rude as I
informed him about my concerns there (telling people possible flaws is
always a tricky thing which I did not master yet), but am I really the
only one that feels somewhat "annoyed" by his extremely longish and in
times painfully repetitive mails? :-/

And on the thread itself, I did not talk about any applications, I
only speak of the UI + widgets and its issues. I know the threshold
might be fuzzy there sometimes.

So, KDE4 is officially abandoned, great! :-(

not so optimistic
