At a risk of starting a flame war, i think Aaron has
some good
comments about why you shouldn't hate on Nepomunk/Akondai

I think we have established over time that there are people who do not
want to use the symantic desktop, or at the very least want their desktop
search as a separate, non-integrated utility in the finest UNIX tradition.
The fact that large parts of the KDE SC require semantic desktop
components to even install is a deal-breaker for those people, myself
included.
By the way, the faults of KDE, and the reasons for TDE's existence, lie in
a thousand little bugs and inefficiencies that would take us far too long
to isolate, repair, and fight to get fixed upstream. One prominent
example is that "cashew" in the top right corner of the desktop--how many
KDE SC releases did it take before that became an option?
Please take this discussion off-list. How ironic that a positive PR
thread will end up damaging TDE even more in the PR arena.
