Products?! AHHAHA, are you Mr. Jobs :P? KDE, GNU/Linux and free software in general is *not a product*, is a community, a family, an idea, not just a stupid product you can buy. @Loacoon “In fact I sometimes wonder if KDE devs are actually using their product…”

But they are not. And I'm not talking about the hidden little bug on an obscure app. For example, Konqueror has plenty of ugly bugs, reported for monthes, confirmed by many people, and never worked on. Dolphin became a hell recently, crashing really often, freezing and all. Peter Penz used to care much about this, but since a few monthes, bug reports are ignored. These are main KDE apps. They HAVE to be stable. In fact I sometimes wonder if KDE devs are actually using their product.... @mat69 : I don’t care much about answering to bug reports if they are fixed. But they are not.

In fact I sometimes wonder if KDE devs are actually using their product….

Apple've cheated, copying one of Brazil's measures on carnaval (the worst, BTW, but that's a different story): they're distributing condoms! (please, no -- obvious -- jokes about consumers' situation, ok?)

First of all you generalize like hell, go to bko.org and look at the bug-closing-stats. You see plenty people caring about bugs. And second you generalize even more, it is not all about features, not for everyone. On answering bug reports. Well would it be useful if I wrote "have no time for it atm., but it is on my plate for the future" to any bug that is not high on my TODO list? Same is true for wishes. In some occations the bugs aren't that "bad" yet fixing them would take huge amounts of time, so those are low on my list as well. In fact I appreciate that there are people reporting bugs and I answer asap on important bugs that have to do with my code. Yet I do that in my free time and bko is for managing bugs not for constant communication with the bug reporters. @Loacoon what you write is completely wrong imo.

But those guys at Apple where smart talking about the problem. I won't buy an iPhone, better an Android based one, but if someone gives me and free iPhone I will have no problems :) P.D. What has this to do you with... KDE? Yep, it has problems with antenna, but the media made the problem very big, as you mentioned, almost all phones have also problem.

It's not completely true to my point if view. No matter what type of project, it need some management, and some care for bugs to be fixed quickly and efficiently. KDE4 is a good exemple... of bad management. KDE4 is a monster, plenty of people and apps, everyone wanting to make THE feature. But in the meantime, some bugs are here and confirmed for more than a year. Some bug reports have no answer at all... What are the devs doing? Working on 4.6 new shiny features in trunk... But 4.5 is far from being stable, and will be released soon. On the other side, Windows7 is much more stable than any other Windows... and than any KDE4 version. So it's not a problem of open or closed sources, it's a problem of management. But that's only my point of view as someone who was trying to test KDE4 dev versions and report bugs when I saw them. But I gave up since nobody cares ;). “The good about open source products is that at least from the software side we can fix stuff as quick as possible.”
