you can. then, you just need the whole KDE bang for that matter... :)
it's like java where every tiny app requires you to download and install a
redundant OS on top of yours native...

Some very fun games have come out of MS Game studios over the years.
Freelancer, Age of Empires.
I'm also going to defend their database server, for obvious reasons

I find Apple's naming very funny. Putting an 'i' infront of a noun makes it
sound Zulu me.

of course you know MS Game Studios is nothing but a bunch of top 3rd party
developers bought/assimilated by MS in typical monopolist practice, don't you?
I myself am very fond of Rareware...

If it sucks, it also blows. If it sucks and blows, it can be used either
as a vacuum cleaner or a fan :P.

Hmm... Not bad :D.

Yes, but with graphical menus. It's easy to use for even entry-level
user (easier than notepad, since WinVI won't broke charsets etc) and
still has most of Vim's power for advanced user (regexps etc).
Seriously, it's lightweight, easy and good.

That's how most big companies work.

It's not feature creep if you put it
at the end and adjust the release date.

I'd be surprised if you can run KDE on Windoze. [Although not *that*
surprised...]

LOL! Something like that. (Ever tried .NET?)

On Gentoo, they have split packages for each KDE app. You still need
kdelibs, but you no longer have to install all of KDE Network to get one
network app.

I've been trying out Programmers Notepad 2. It works well enough for C
and generic text, but I haven't tried out all the other options in it.

I currently use Cream, which is also based on Vim but more accessible.
It is available on Linux and Windows:
http://cream.sourceforge.net/home.html
I was using SciTE as well, but I ran into some problems so I switched...
The thing is I don't remember what the problems were :-\
