When I read the rest of this thread, I saw unfounded conjecture and a tendency to assume that KDE and openSUSE don't care about long term, loyal users' needs. I don't really understand why. We are aware of KDE 4's current shortcomings, and we've tried harder than any other distro to make sure that KDE 3 remains a viable alternative while we work to resolve them. The sky isn't falling!
'Glad to hear that. ;) PART of the problem is that there have been some who've given us snotty responses to criticisms, which is GOING to happen when one takes something as polished as KDE 3.5, replace it with a new version that is radically different and sorely lacking, and further tell us we have to live with. NONE of use are that hard to get along with, well maybe Basil is the exception :), IF someone takes the time to be upfront with us as to EXACTLY what's going on, instead of terse, sometimes snotty responses. You are the first one who has made the point that 3.5 functionality is really being worked on, putting it into 4.*. This is what we have been asking for. IMHO, any distro. that isn't primarily a 3.5* distro. while working on 4.* is going to loose support quickly! Fortunately, openSUSE will ship and support 3.5.10 with 11.1. If it didn't, I'd probably change to another distro. for myself and all clients. IF the EXTREMELY BAD performance of the Intel video driver (including i965) isn't fixed by the release of 11.1, I won't be using it for clients either on a LOT of boxen....laptops that have that or other Intel chipset. Wifi is still a problem for Intel and other chipsets as well.
