As you obviously do not know, one of the goals of KDE4 is to clean up at least
some of the bloat/confusing dialogs/features that are used by nobody/minority.
The most visible 'cut' is of course visible in the parts that have been com-
pletely rewritten from ground for KDE4, read desktop shell/Plasma (Plasma 4.0
and 4.1 did not include some features not because developers did not consider
them essential but because of missing time/resource.) But it's not the goal to
let over time KDE4/Plasma grow to same KDE 3.5 functionality including stuff
for every loud minority of users. So KDE4 will be never "same as KDE 3.5" and
it supposed to be better/different so "same config" argument is also invalid.
That's no helpful answer: it doesn't help developers to decide what functiona-
lity is really required and if considered essential to priotize implemntation.

know what the features are in 3.5.....we need them all, as has been stated

It sounds like they don't want to implement all the features of 3.5, but
so far, no one's been honest about that, 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
