The key word here are VIRTUAL DESKTOPS: this is in my vision of the desktop the key element, moving away from the bad image of a "desktop", moving towards, say, a "building" with many rooms, for the many different (permanent!) activities a complex human being is involved with. KDE4 embodies the microsoft/apply direction, with basically one big window open plus a lot of gadgets around it, for distraction. Virtual desktops do no longer work with KDE4; perhaps with version 4.11 it might work again, and then it could be tolerable. However, there will come QT5, with it KDE5, and this will then likely be the end of KDE.
Did you read Bob's email from yesterday in this thread before posting?
Could you please be more specific? Which e-mail (and which content in it)? And I didn't find an e-mail posted by "Bob", but perhaps I'm not familiar with what "Bob" stands for (I thought "Robert").
who prefer KDE3 resp. KDE4 is precisely the use of virtual desktops: those who prefer KDE3 will have a large (so well, just 20 is possible) number of virtual desktops, in permanent use (for example on my workstation I had always around 200-300 windows open; as I said, I want to live in a "house", or "building", not on a shallow "desktop"), those who prefer KDE4 will not care much about it.
See above and then you might see why I do not get that argument.
Again, would be great if you could be more explicit. Perhaps you mean the claims that for some people virtual desktops seem to work? See the bug reports in KDE under my name, many of the recent ones have to do with virtual desktops and their bugs (these I think I remember we all had (nearly) in KDE3, but they were cured). These bugs are facts. And nothing happens about them (this seems to be another fact, though a weaker one, since behind the scences things could change).
