New? More? Really? I beg to differ... I thin it needs the KDE + GNOME + Englightment + etc. Guys to unite and create 1 full-featured DE, bug-free, with at set of SOLID applications (mail, browser, etc.) and 1 unified layer underneath.
But then again, we all know that's not going to happen and licenses is not the only problem here or anywhere else where you see this kind of fragmentation (android?).
- dagw 13y agoFirst you say "I beg to differ" then in the very next sentence you suggest that a large bunch of people should get together and create a new DE. So which is it?
- nly 13y agoThe GNOME and KDE communities seem to have two completely opposing philosophies. I'd argue the best way to achieve unification would be to make GNOME 4 a Qt based DE. Qt is just superior and GTK+ only exists because of ancient Qt licensing issues that are no longer relevant. That said, this will never happen because, being C++, it'd alienate a lot of GNOME developers. During the transition you'd also set back GNOME for years.
