I got the impression that something essential is missing, so I challenge you to come with such an example.
For me (note: I _am_ using KDE4), the main problem of KDE4 is not what is _missing_ but quite the opposite. Ideal DE for me would be KDE4's kwin with Plasma (which can be tamed after all) but without stuff like Nepomuk, Akonadi, Strigi, KDEPIM ... I really don't have any use for all those and I certainly don't want MySQL running on my desktop because of them. Yes, one can disable them but with every new version of KDE4, this task is getting more and more difficult and it requires to sacrifice more applications. So I do fully understand people who are reluctant to move to KDE4. Just compare the memory footprint of a clean default KDE3 a KDE4 desktop and you should see the point. (And for the record: I consider the removal of KDE3 while KDE4 was still unusable the second worst decision in the ten years I'm using OpenSuSE (first being the move to zmd in beta phase of 10.1, of course).)
