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.
And I exercise it. Not so much a bash an observation... To be frank the response, though not unexpected, seem to more of denial that there could be an issue, and hiding behind a particular mantra does *not* make the issue go away, it is rather like the three monkeys 'hear no evil, see no evil, say no evil'. BTW I have in the main kept out of most of this, so the I am not really one of the continual bitchers you are bitching 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.
