I, for one have decided to stay with 11.0 for as long as possible. I've tried KDE 4 and simply don't like it. I also don't care for the way things are going with SUSE.
And you believe that for kde based decisions that the other distros will be different? :^)
it's an ever changing world.
One thing that's often forgotten is that change does not always mean better.
Change means: difference If you like it or not, has nother to do with being better or not.
If, for one reason, you decide KDE-3.5 is "better", no one will stop you from becoming an additional maintainer for kde-3.5 for 11.3, 12.0 and so on! Wasn't that one of the pradigms of opensource: "use the Source,Luke" ;-)
hw What makes you think that all of us are programmers? I've done a little bit of BASIC, and an even smaller bit of Pascal, and that was quite a while ago. It would seem to me that the old Anne Landers regime, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," applies here. Just because what somebody in SuSE-land thinks KDE could look prettier, or sexier, or just different is no excuse to make it obsolete. There are so many things that guys bitch about, that really _are_ broke, and seem never to get addressed in spite of bug reports--why bother with bug reports at all, if the clowns screwing up a perfectly good desktop don't address them?
