It is? Then why do I have to do custom installs everytime to get stuff to work? Easy to use would be something that does what I tell it to do
without my having to bother about selecting the location of (almost)
every file.
rpm is easy enpugh for me.
./configure;make depend;make;make install is also just as intutive.
(I guess that depends on your perspective of intutive)

Errrr? The crux of this statement seems to be that the integration is
good because of a consistent visual graphical interface .
But if I don't want to use that interface because I don't like it?
Or maybe because I find something else intutive?
What is being implied is here is that the variety of desktop
interfaces is bad for the developer?

KDE is good enough. And I use Litestep on Windows (when I use it at home), thank you..

You see, the problem is that what I find intutive and need and like is not what you need and/or like.
So a common installer just doesn't help.

So stick to one toolkit and you will get that integration
As for me, I like applications which use different toolkits, and different APIs.

Good work. Keep it up.
