Don't always rely on hearsay in the mailing lists, you need to do your own 
tests first. Small e.g. People have been saying Konq and firefox are fast 
browsers on Linux, but to me they are slow compared Opera. Some people just 
get carried away with the enthusiasm of a new release and haven't really used 
in earnest. I still use KDE 3.5 for all important work because it does the 
job. I use 4.4 for the mailing lists and occasionally bring my backed up mail 
into Kontact to see how and if it works. e.g. Try and suspend a reminder in 
Kontact in 4.4, you can only dismiss them.

Sorry, chastising wasn't my intention.

backups.
