Too many Linux developers are thinking about cute desktop tricks... and are not supporting the meat and potato apps (as that might be too boring for them)
Actually a good point, though a little off-topic for a KDE related article.
The Free Software developers among the Linux developers work their asses of to deliver all the infrastructure, e.g. kernel, system services, desktop environments, yet the proprietary developers among them seem not to care about their customers. Instead of doing something useful they either try to make a product for which the infrastructure already has implementations (e.g. Nero4Linux) or flashy gimmics that nobody needs (Google Widgets).
But as you said, while the Free Software developers work hard on the necessary cores, the proprietary developers just want to work on shiny things, if they do any work at all.
There needs to be a Quickbooks for LINUX.
Exactly!
Did you contact Inuit about it and if yes what is their excuse for not having a Linux version?
