Besides something like KDE are there any other desktop applications
under linux that would be considered "killer apps" that are simply
unavailable or unmatched under either Windows or Mac? These are apps
that would make people think twice before moving away from Linux like
Quicken makes people stick to a Windows Desktop.
So where are the Linux desktop "killer apps"?
KDE is not a desktop application, but it contains many "killer apps" such as
AmaroK and K3B. These two applications, for examples, are enough to make
users of other platforms envious, assuming they have actually tried them. To
me, KNode is a killer application as well.
Another example is Kontact -- the unified email, groupware application.
For example, with all that Outlook has -- it doesn't over Calendaring,
which is built right into Kontact. MS realizes that it has to reserve
functionality in some applications, in order to force you to buy
products like Outlook full version and it's calendaring.
With Linux, there is no barrier to adding as many features as is proper
for an application.
