    If the only reason you think your software is better is because it's FOSS, you need to write better software

    I have no problem with Canonical working with KDE.

    I believe he was referring to the recent 'improvements' made to gnome.
    That's what she said.

    I'd like to see this nonsense being flung back and forth come to an end. Ultimately, unity is a divergence from Gnome Shell - big deal. How that divergence occurred doesn't matter anymore outside of a clear lack of proper communication (communication is the root of this debacle now anyway).

    Ultimately, focus should be turned back towards bug number 1 on launchpad. This needs the continued focus of all of FLOSS without all the unproductive finger pointing (finding the "root cause" does not need to turn into a he said/she said thing like this).

    Stop being so reasonable. Just remember this is all gnomes fault.

    And I was showing how it's possible that Kubuntu may just use Unity for its UI.

    Why not? Even if you don't like the changes, you can always install vanilla KDE.

    Fights between GNOME and Canonical+KDE continues.

    My impression I get from reading all these is that GNOME people are difficult to work with. I'm glad I don't support them by using their desktop.

    This ignores the fact that Ubuntu contributions were never actually proposed until they were "finished", and now the issue of copyright assignment.

    Compiz is not a KDE project.

    It looks like this may happen.

    The whole thing is a deliberate misrepresentation of GNOME to make them look bad. Perhaps it's designed to bolster support for more forking/improvements like Unity.

    It's not Gnome either. Compiz is it's own entity.
