Something about making their own version of every app and than naming it k-something makes me think it's a cult.
Oh no, they know about the Kult! Burn the kompound!
The Kool Kids Klub will never fall!
Oh, I wouldn't get on my high horse about that, Gnome apps used to be G- or Gnome-something for a long, long time.
Now they're just some stock generic name that assumes "why would anyone ever use any other program for music except Music, or videos except Videos?". Pretty much like Apple.
Worse than that, if you're looking for the program in the terminal like when you install the thing it's still called the old name, like:
Files > nautilus
Disk usage analyzer > baobab
They used to have character. The k- naming scheme is just a hint that isn't a qt app really.
Archive Manager > fileroller
Excuse me, it's called a kult.
What in the world are you on about? Kandalf be praised
We wouldn't have Safari (Webkit) or Chrome (Blink) today if it weren't for Konqueror and KHTML! Webkit is a fork of KHTML, and Blink is a fork of Webkit.
