the reason i chose KDE 3.x over Gnome was the integration with konqueror.
the ability to find a file on the web in one tab, view it's contents in another, transfer files from a digital camera and browse them, all in one application is a fantastic capability.
i tried Gnome for a while but having to use a separate web browser, file manager and pdf reader is clunky.
unfortunately KDE 4 is trying to force me back to this way of working.
konqueror needs some TLC »
The biggest change for me in the last few years has been moving over to KDE and konqueror.
the ability to access a web site in one tab and files on my system in another, all within one window, makes computing much less of a chore.
there is nothing really new to get excited about computing though.
we are still locked into the same old input devices and while the apps have more wizz and fizz, a spread sheet is still a set of rows and columns the same as it was on an apple II in 1980. »
