Yes, it's my personal belief that these projects all represent wasted effort
and that if they cooperated they'd achieve more. I always get a nice warm fuzzy
feeling whenever I see a forked project merge (Compiz Fusion, Webkit/KHTML)
You don't think competition has it's advantages? A bigger project
doesn't necessarily equal better results. There are significant
differences between (for example) KDE and GNOME that make it useful to
have a choice. They are tackling the same problem but in different ways.
It is very important people can experiment and try different things.
Anything else would be to stifle innovation and progress.

I didn't realise Qtopia was */proprietary/*

IE no X server. Given that I retract my earlier comments on preferring
QT for the quality docs and IDE..... I'd rather plug away at developing
in GTK than that.
