KDE4 is a *new* product. What you are asking is for the developers to
sit down and compare the two and duplicate everything. But everything
is different and *some* things you do not want, are not usable in the
new product, etc.
It is a *generality* and is vague! Specify the *particular* features
that you find missing.
manner, ie: "not the same". And some may not be possible.
It is *necessary* to *specify* functions that you require and do not
find available. Part of the problem is quite possibly that "you do
not find" the function you want. It quite well may be available, but
differently.
I want tomorrow to be like yesterday and you know what yesterday was
like. And I want it all that way.
What are you going to do when it is time for 11.2 and there is no KDE3
and no other distro offers it? Go back to os/2? That was wonderful
in it's time until IBM stepped on it's d**k, but would not fit the
bill today, much less so than KDE4.
It's time for change and time for us to step up to the bar.
Use KDE4 and gripe about what is missing, but make sure that your
gripes and documented in bugzilla where they will be seen and
addressed or you are just whistling in the wind. And the longer you
whistle, the longer what you desire will be missing.

It sounds like they don't want to implement all the features of 3.5,
but so far,
assumption!
no one's been honest about that,
more assumption
or not that I've read anyway. Did I miss something? When asked what
features we want, the answer normally is ALL of what we have in 3.5.

That's an informative answer.

It's not a "nasty" response....just being factual. We don't want to
loose anything.
From the discussion here, that is not possible. KDE4 is different.Some of the things that you want may be available in a different
manner, ie: "not the same". And some may not be possible.
