And his additude/understanding relates directly to the vehminent
accusations by four or five list participants about the status of KDE4
and the mind-set of its programmers.
The differences between KDE3 and KDE4 are similar to changing word
processor/text editors, wordstar/wordperfect/ms-junk, and having to
learn new key sequences, or a different email client :^)
I learned wordstar keystrokes on cp/m and prefer anything that
resembles them now as I don't have to learn something *completely*
different. KDE4 is the future and the nay-sayers may as well
contribute by using it, unless it will not provide the necessary
functions they *require*, and contribute bug-reports to gain uses and
actions they desire.
David Rankin has chosen this path as have a few others but there are
several *loud* spoken individuals, especially Fred Miller, who's
attitudes and approach are only causing turmoil and descension.
Bob S wants to do things but has little understanding and appears to
be very impressionable and I feel that it is this group of individuals
who hear the nay-sayers comments and blindly follow, causing great
delay the development of linux.
You have seen the same applied to gnome. I read your admonishment of
David Rankin in the factory list :^).
</rant> I feel better now, thanks for listening...

I installed 11.0 just to see how KDE4 was. I am happy with my 10.3 and
KDE3. KDE4 was what I didn't like. I'll try again with 11.1 and KDE4
although I have a feeling that I will be sticking with my 10.3 and
KDE3. I sincerely hope that SuSE will continue to support a full
version of KDE3 until they get KDE4 right.
Yes, I also don't like kde 4, but you can use kde 3 in 11.0, and 11.0 has
some interesting advantages, specially in package management.
