For me, KDE4 is a great desktop environment, even though I use it as if it were KDE3...

But I don't care: what I love about free software is that it is free. Everyone is free to fork, and that's a right I will fight for even when I think the fork is misdirected -- what I think isn't important.

The Trinity people chose to fork and did the work to make it happen. Great! That's what free software is for. Then they forked Krita, and hey -- when I asked them to do the polite thing and rename it, they did. Great! 

So now you've got a choice between running a fork of Krita 1.6 on your trinity desktop, or use my CentOS 5.x package of Krita 2, and both will run, you can even install them at the same time :-).

For some reason, this makes me plenty happy :-).
