just seems like there are just different standards of rhetoric. people express themselves differently.
anyway, I am interested in the discussion of the relative merits of the two or so approaches, especially if it goes into specifics.

One thing I would like to point out is that the TDE project wouldn't exist
without the KDE project. Can't we give the KDE project at least a little
credit as having created KDE 3 so that TDE could be forked?
Thanks,

from my point of view it is to be expected that people have strong
opinions about such matters, including that this or that "sucks", nothing
childish about it depending on their reasons.
however I think we should make sure that in the expression of opinions we
don't attack individuals whose opinions differ. I'm not sure that's been
done yet but maybe approaching the margins.
I find the discussion interesting and informative. as far as I can see,
the intentions certainly are good and if there are good questions and good
answers, who's the loser?

"Nice addition" is your opinion. How is compositing not bling or bloat?
It's incorporation in early KDE4 releases was a big reason I didn't even
like to sample them.
