This is all well and good, but to my knowledge throwing out the baby with bathwater (or for a more pertinent metaphor leaving the baby in the open unattended while rebuilding the house) is not a good idea. The repetition of the 'in development' mantra is beginning to wear a little thin.
No more so that your continual bashing. You *have* a choice. Don't use it and you have no more reason unhappiness. Others will blaze the trail and, when you feel that they have achieved your *necessities*, you are free to rejoin. AND you have no problem to continue to bitch about.
The roll out of KDE4 has been a PR and HRM disaster area, with developers feeling under appreciated and abused, experienced users feeling their comments are ignored or discarded at whim, and others just generally confused. Hopefully, other OSS developers will take note of this and take this as example of how *not* to manage a major change to a well used, well loved and well understood tool.
