I only wish that were the case. Kubuntu has traditionally been a mess,
though 9.10 is a bit better than the past. Ubuntu's strong point is
their high level of polish in all default apps, not just Gnome, and
that level of polish does not carry over to Kubuntu. I really don't
know why I stick with Kubuntu, but I do. Probably for the same reason
that other s stick with Windows: it's not really good, but it does the
job and it's what I know. Maybe I should give Mandriva and Suse a
spin.
