The quotes Martin provides on his blog seem to support his criticisms adequately, IMHO. And the decision to stay with qt3 does not bode well for the future of the Trinity project.
- nitrogen 14y agoI appreciate Martin's contributions to KDE, but when I read that blog post it seemed like he was taking the Trinity fork personally, especially due to one of this three imagined reasons for the fork being "Haters of “KDE 4″ technology". There are many other reasons why someone might want to keep KDE3 going apart from the three he gave. Also: "Seeing commits to “twin” really hurts and our current version of KWin is just better in any area." That post was from February, though, so there's little reason for us to continue to dissect it now. I just use it as an example of some of the unfortunate reactions developers have to forks of their code, and a demonstration that those deriding forks should not be taken seriously until after some investigation confirms the validity of their derision.
