#2Maybe it's a well-researched article, but am I the only one that bothers the structure of the website?
I am not able to read it. The text is just in the middle, really big white space left and right. Than there is this big wallpaper on every page. By the way, why so many pages?
Sorry for off-topic.

#3It is because that the "best" apps for Linux distros are written with GTK the reason for KDE being much less mainstream than Gnome?

Are you sure about that? I would think the exact opposite, that there are more good QT/KDElibs programs then GTK ones. And more recently more and more apps switch to QT (like wireshark for example).
And I heard somewhere that Gnome is very popular in the US, but everywhere else KDE is slightly more favored (apart from all the small DEs and WMs).

I'd say it's got more to do with Ubuntu initially being Gnome-based than anything else.
Also, KDE (until very recently) wasn't helped by it's unusually hideous default theme and icon set.

I think the article is actually quite readable. However, the fact that javascript is required to render any text does irk me a little. Edit: I may have jumped the gun: the site now seems to be loading fine without js.

#8A big raised middle finger goes to the developers who thought it was a good idea to make it impossible to opt out of akonadi, nepomuk, baloo, activities, monochrome tray icons, that fucking cashew icon and having an additional separate colour scheme just for the task bar. All of KDE is configurable and can be switched off, except these "innovations".
Still using KDE, because it's the least bad desktop environment, but these v4.x era additions annoy me to no end. v5 does nothing to improve this.

I didn't notice. The only such best application for me is Firefox. Most other applications that I use are written with Qt.
