knife. The code was a mess, especially kicker et al. Even games were ugly and
did not have proper SVG themes to adapt to different sizes properly. Lots of
features missing compared to KDE4, kmail does not have customisable views, I
can only display the content of one folder (working project) on my desktop,
though I work on several in parallel, it does not use of my hardware e.g. GPU
or multi-threading. etc
Neither the internals nor the looks are something that will ever get into any
art museum or hall of fame. And just to save you some time, I do not know
whether KDE4's will, but in terms of code quality and looks it is better than
KDE3, by far. Even to the point that it allows the user to make it look as if
it was KDE3. So no matter how you argue, since it can look like KDE3 it cannot
be uglier than KDE3, as stated by Илья Черных.
For me women and computers are completely separate things not compareable by
any means or aspect, sorry, that's not my world.

Have you heard of windeco and kde/plasms-themes? You can make KDE4
look as ugly and backwards as KDE3 if you like.
No you can't make KDE4 to look like KDE3.
Why not? The windecos etc are still available and the themes as well, you
can even create a plasma theme that looks as fugly as kicker in KDE3.
I had a hard time recalling words such as backwards, ugly or fugly used to
describe KDE3 3 years ago, so I took a look at
http://web.archive.org/web/20070613103335rn_1/www.kde.org/screenshots/ to
see if they were. They weren't, so I have a hard time understanding their
use now.

Most women don't turn from attractive to fugly in only 3 years,
and they actually do age.
