I’m running KDE 4.3 RC I installed over ubuntu. Ubuntu was nice, but I can definitely say without KDE I would have ditched Gnome/Ubuntu and gone back to Windows 7 now.

There’s something about Gnome that feels incomplete, I love the simplicity, but it feels overly simplistic and lacking of change with the computer world that’s moving ahead – KDE’s desktop on the other hand with Smooth Tasks Plasmoid for taskbar and IM integration on the desktop to Pidgin, Facebook…etc – this is HUGE!!!!!

All in All, KDE’s plasmoids have really simplified how much crap i need to do to get places and things simply – like their devices plasmoid which auto-registers the devices to a pull out menu, and the home pullout menu plasmoid…etc

on the official site a KDE plasmoid dev announced recently that Plasmoids will be able to auto-download from http://www.OpenDesktop.org too and upload skipping RPM / DEB / Compiling, just simple auto-install which is EXCITING to say the least.

<3 Gnome between KDE 3.7-4.2, but the new KDE is AWSOME and a force to be reckoned with.

Recent releases have convinced me that KDE 4.x will probably eventually earn a place on my desktop, but it’s still not there yet. Squash those bugs KDE, I’m cheering for you.

For sure is they are going on right direction. I think the exterior is very important if they want to obtain more users. Some more details and they will easily compete with other OS.

You’re right of course, I guess I’m probably only getting overly sensitive in my old age.

I did also have a grievous oversight in not thanking you for the kinds words and thoughtful review. Thanks.

@Rex: I compared it because I wanted to end on a positive note, meaning that I wanted to show everyone what a great job the devs did, listening to the feedback they got. So I can’t see why this would be a bad thing.

Some are starting to wonder when all the mentions of and comparisons to 4.0 were going to end. No time soon apparently.

How many releases and years need to pass, seriously?
