Yet Another reason to use linux...

[Sy Ali]

Just a quick note on the KDE thread.

I've tried and tried to find alternatives to a number of KDE
applications, but that seems to be a hopeless cause.

There is another thread which has talked about finding the Linux
equivalent of various Windows apps.  I wonder how it would change if
the equivalent apps were organized so people could also look for
non-KDE alternatives.

Some curious strugles for me have included

- kate (hmm, with nedit maybe?  or just bone up on vim)

- k3b (various good choices these days)

- kgpg (all I want to do is have encrypted text in my clipboard and be
able to decrypt it into a popup window and the reverse - apparently
this is impossible with the other choices)

- etc..

It's quite an adventure to try to step away from some of the really
great KDE applications.
