V3.x. V4 is still missing some needed features and is rather unstable.

Better than Gnome (what isn't ) , much worse than KDE3. V4 don't provide me 
with 
any thing  I need from a DT-environment that V3 + Compiz are lacking.

Updated. Improvements with later versions, Getting closer to release status 
with 4.1.1.

Still consider it to have beta status and no replacement for V3. Have yet to  
found any features i V4 
that i will improve the way I work with my desktop environment. In my opinion 
it's more a show-off for graphical effects (like Vista)
than an improvement of the way to do the actual work. (or I'm still haven't 
found it). 
The learning curve and needed addaption for V4 makes it a nightmare for 
deployment in any kind of production environment with ordernary users used
to V3 or WinXP.

V3 is nice but a bit old. A face lift (v3.6) withe some graphcal effects and 
Compiz integration may be nice.
V4 have a long way yet to go
