Firefox Lead Engineer Scolds KDE Project

trent42 writes "Firefox lead developer Ben Goodger has had harsh words on his blog for the KDE project, in light of its public tiff with Apple over the KHTML rendering engine. Goodger says 'Safari's renderer is vastly superior to the KHTML used by Konqueror,' and that the KDE developers should follow Apple's lead and focus more on the needs of users, instead of insisting on software perfection."

Well, he started it!!

Seriously, the occasional blow-up like this is probably good in the long run. If a little embarassing to watch now.

Whoa, that's out-of-bounds, dude. How are we going to keep up this pan-fora flamewar if people go around apologizing and admitting that the other side was reasonable!? If you don't have something destructive to say, don't say anything at all.

Your post would be much easier to understand if your sig came first.

'the KDE developers should follow Apple's lead and focus more on the needs of users, instead of insisting on software perfection.

But if we hadn't waited on software perfection, we wouldn't all be playing Duke Nukem Forever on top of the GNU Hurd.
