No, I caught the sarcasm from the beginning. And it's almost like you
wrote their Mission Statement for them.
(Though FWIW I don't have much problem with mixing best of breed apps
if it means picking up a few dependencies, software is only a small
fraction of the total data I keep. This thing desktops environments
develop where they want to proliferate into an exclusive 'ecosystem'
isn't much in the interests of users. I happily used K3B for years
under Gnome before I switched to KDE.)
You're right, it's not a huge amount of data for the dependencies. I just
have this thing about Gnome apps in general. They never seem quite as good
as the KDE versions. Though, the maintainers attitude also makes a big
difference to me. I don't use apps from people who act like that. (If that
makes sense.)
