Thanks! "Mostly", so were are those developers, there must be a few.

Indeed! Yet you fail to see that those using KDE4 are not arguing that KDE3 is 
shite, which would be silly. They just disagree with the claim that KDE4 is 
bad, which is not silly at all. If people would just stick to "I like KDE3" 
without adding "KDE4 is just about bling and hence useless and many others (if 
not the majority) think so too", they would not be told that their claims are 
just too extreme to be true.

It is absolutely not silly to tell people who claim: KDE4 is only about bling 
and hence useless!, that they are wrong. And to stand firm on that opinion is 
not religious but sensible. Or would one have to agree with those that tell 
KDE4 is bad in order not to be religious? I guess that arguments are lacking 
and hence one tries to pull the ideology/religion bat on those that like KDE4.

Just read the thread and how often people tell you and the others: If you like 
KDE3, go on using it, it's your choice, your freedom.
