Yes... well... after the many technical reasons why I don't use KDE, comes the problem with its userbase... which is often appears to be made up of rabid teenagers with huge chips on their shoulders. Any KDE poster is contractually bound to mention how much "GNOME is tha sucks... and KDE roxx," and probably burble something about "KIO Slaves", and finish off with a rant about Red Hat, Sun Microsystems and, lately since they went GNOME, Novell. It's a kind of institutional idiocy that KDE has always suffered from, and it's gotten worse as GNOME has overtaken it. I'm amazed that any Red Hat engineer ever managed to hold his nose long enough to deal with the KDE hordes for more than two minutes.
