that it seems like many of the issues people bump into with KDE4 are traceable back to config issues, KDE3 installed, or them trying to force KDE4 to do something it can't yet.
If they want to force KDE4 to do something it can not do, it is probably because of it could be done in the window manager (KDE3) they used earlier. Isn't it a logical expectation that if I can do something in KDE3 then I can do it in KDE4? Isn't it a logical expectation that KDE4 should be an improved version of KDE3, and that it should work similarly to KDE3? The name - KDE - implies that. That's what normal logic dictates.

You mean like Windows Vista vs XP? See, even the big boys get it wrong sometimes. I don't know how many times I found myself tearing my hair out and cursing Vista under my breath (or sometimes not so quietly) when I tried to do basic stuff that was easy in XP but required jumping through hoops in Vista. Even simple stuff like configuring networking - configuring custom network setting seems to be much harder even in Win 7 that it was in XP because so much stuff moved around and was hidden from "mere users". The switch from KDE3 to KDE4, whilst there was some adjusting, I found to be much more natural and easier than from XP to Vista or 7. There are still changes occuring (even from 4.4 to 4.4.93 there are differences with some stuff moving around and minor changes in how some things work) but overall I don't miss KDE3 at all now (I still use XP though if I *have* to use Windows). And re Mac OSX, I found it much less of a jump from KDE4 to Mac OSX and back again than from KDE3 or any version of Windows.
