Write a few sentences stating what you like about
TDE most.
- I've been using KDE3 as my desktop of choice for many years and with
Trinity I can continue using it in a familiar way. It has many
configuration options that are easily accessible, so I can custonize it
just the way I like it. The general feel when working in Trinity is
efficient and snappy. Trinity doesn't come with much of what I percieve as
visual clutter like animations or other graphical effects, and those there
are I can disable easily. For me Trinity comes with the right balance of
eye candy and efficiency.
- I'm basically living in my file manager. It's the most important
application for me on any desktop, and I just love Konqueror's file manager
part. It's a powerhorse that lets me have any number of views, has detailed
list view as view type available which I can set as default, has right
click servicemenus that I can customize and even write new ones, and I can
drag and drop files to any application. I can put directories I often need
access to as icons into the bookmark toolbar. I can also use Konqueror as
an ftp client to work with remote file systems in a familiar way.
- I'm a web developer and have to be able to switch comfortably between
applications like text editor, web browser and file manager. Trinity lets
me do that without any fuss. I also love to use Kate as my editor for HTML
authoring, PHP and Python programming, and love its features like
customizable syntax highlighting for many languages, block selection mode,
intelligent auto-indentation and view splitting. It is also pretty quick
when scrolling large texts.
- I can customize my panel, move it to any edge of the desktop, give it a
specific height in pixels, can have applications I often use in its
launcher bar, can set the max width of entries in the task bar (only in a
config file though), and can order all panel sections the way I want.
- The default menu is ordered sensibly. Where I disagree, I can edit it
with a simple right click. I can add my own applications or start scripts
easily.
- I can customize hotkeys in applications to the way I'm used to, and I can
also set up hotkeys to start applications with a single keystroke.
I better stop here before it turns into a book :). Those points are the
most important ones for me, though.
I am also interested in the other side of the
coin: What do you hate
about TDE the most?
I don't really hate anything. I'd prefer to not have my file manager
mangled with a web browser, which admittedly I don't use anyway (I'm using
Firefox), but it's not really too important for me. As long as Konqueror
file manager keeps its awesome features, I'm happy. :)
Thanks,
Sanne
I agree with everything here, especially about konq, I also live in konq. I
do, however, like having konq as a web browser. I feel the html engine should
be fixed. Trust me there are some advantages konq has over FF as a web
browser.
Thanks
Kate
