Yes, that's exactly why I think some users need a gentle kick in the ass, and
the developers need to spend their time on fixing KDE4.x rather than
supporting KDE3.
Don't get me wrong - I fully acknowledge that KDE4.1 lacks some nice features
and polish that KDE3 has, and that migrating is painful because you have to
reconfigure a lot of things and relearn things and change some workflows. I
only fully migrated myself 5-6 weeks ago and the first 4-6 days were hell.
But migrating won't become easier by putting it off - on the contrary I
expect. And KDE 4.1 _does_ have a lot of nice features that KDE3 doesn't have
- discarding it all as glitz is bullocks.
It's funny, most of the people doing comparisons of KDE4 with Microsoft or
Windows seem to have the mindset of Microsoft customers.
Only caring about their own immediate convenience - not giving a hoot about
what's good for KDE or the free software desktop in general in the bigger
picture - and certainly not willing to make any small sacrifice or contribute
with something.
"Boycotting" and complaining might be a good strategy for unhappy MS Windows
Vista customers...
.. but it _doesn't_ make KDE4 better - usage, constructive feedback and
contributions _does_. That's how a free software community project like KDE
works.
