The PC I'm composing this on has both Leap with KDE3 and Tumbleweed with
TDE. I use it with TW barely at all. I use TDE far more on other PCs, a
roughly even split among KDE3, TDE and Plasma5, among openSUSE, Fedora,
Debian, Mageia and *buntu.
Well, I don't know what happened to KDE3, I just know that I joined TDE,
because I had to fix a bunch of issues related to chars encoding. For me it
was the TDEPIM part. With help of Michele and Slavek I managed to get into
the repositories. After this I recall Michele and Slavek continued fixing
the encoding issues in other modules.
I honestly do not see a reason why one would use KDE3, but if you wish doing
so, I don't mind. Because of the above issue, I can bet that you would have
now and then encoding issues, if the patches were not backported.
I want to use this opportunity to thank all users and contributors that help
keep the project alive and improve that code.
