Very concrete! What crashes, what scripting - or did you just want to list 
some buzzwords to make your point?

That's exactly the point. There are different kinds of criticism and yours and 
the original poster's are not constructive and hence useless - as useless as 
feeding the trolls, which I hereby do nevertheless - damn!

Trust me, those enjoying KDE4 and working with it every day are fed-up with 
useless comments and whining as yours. They prove you wrong with every task 
they complete and you make that dead easy because by exaggerating you only 
show that you lack real arguments and that what you say cannot be true in that 
extent.

Just because those whining shout loudest it does not mean anything. I have not 
seen yet a group of developers that forked KDE3 and is actively working on it, 
so where are the many that KDE 4 does not listen/appeal to? Statistics tells 
me that if there are really that many users that think the same as you, there 
must be developers of that kind as well, taking charge of the KDE3 codebase. 
Maybe even a company that can live off the many KDE3 customers that won't 
switch. If not, then probably you are just wrong about your assumptions and 
just show your love for dead-ends and inflexibility.

Oh, hey - very mature and showing the attitude towards constructive 
discussions and how you really think about "open your ears and listen".

In the end it comes down to: You lose some you win some. If you are right, 
KDE(4) will die, if not, KDE3 will. Any bookie around?
