Frankly, that's what pisses many people off.

Here we had a highly polished version of KDE 3.5, with almost everything 
working very well.

Then instead of refining 3.5 we toss the baby out with the bath water and 
start all over again. For what?

As a result, we get to wait a long time before KDE 4 is as functional as 3.5, 
AND we have to learn a whole bunch of new ways to get our jobs done.

None of the #$@!!! plasmoids or eye candy are worth the aggravation, as far as 
I'm concerned. I don't give a hoot about 3D or fancy graphics, I just want my 
computer to work reliably all the time.
