--- Comment #14 from Jeremy Andrews <athenian...@outlook.com> ---
Just wanted to say, this exact attitude on the part of the developers is why I
gave up on GNOME years ago. I'm sad to see that this Apple-like pursuit of
simplicity and irreductible interdependency on whatever library is popular at
the moment has also infected the KDE community.
I'm an X11 user that doesn't want a bunch of Wayland protocols running on top
of X and going around standard ways of doing things with a nascent protocol
that isn't nearly as well-tested and with which I have no experience. When
Wayland is actually ready and in a usable state, I plan to use it in place of
X. It isn't there yet. I'm not happy with this poorly-implanted kludge of a
desktop environment you've hacked together. It essentially forces KDE users to
have a frankensystem that runs the Wayland protocol on top of X in order to
take advantage of new features while still being able to use legacy X-dependent
code.
It's obvious from reading this that your only agenda here is making less work
for yourselves rather than what's good for the user, or even what makes for a
stable piece of software. You can say it's just one library, but it's one
library that replaces half of what X is supposed to do with an incompatible way
of doing things. I'm not okay with that. If I had wanted Wayland, I would have
installed it myself. I'm not interested in beta-testing Wayland for you.
So, I just want to let you know that you've lost another user to LxQt. I like
Qt5, and I'm glad that Qt is at least somewhat independent of your organization
at this point, and can only hope that the KDE team's attitudes don't spread
into Qt itself. If this is how people code when you don't pay them money, I'm
tempted to rethink the wisdom of open source software as a concept.
