From the website:

> End-User Focus: to ensure our work is useful to all people. [the emphasis is mine]

Does somebody else have a problem with the idea of focusing in being helpful to all people? Is this supposedly opposed to "Developer-Focused" or something like that?

The problem with focusing on all people is that KDE will never be used by such a broad group until how Linux is distributed is fundamentally changed. Maybe it's good to be ready for the unlikely scenario in which KDE one day comes installed on tablets being marketed to your mom, but perhaps KDE can become more useful to those who use it if those developing it recognize that it's appeal is inherently limited.

I agree.

To put it bluntly, focusing on all people is not having a focus at all.
