Why should I go back to incredibly ugly
Ugliness is in the eye of the beholder. SM's default theme is incredibly ugly. Modern and FF's default are little better. I use Modern anyway. My opinion of Breeze is already on record here, but ugliness of itself doesn't even make the back seat as an issue. Functionality and usability are what matter here. My puters are tools, not art show pieces.
and even older KDE3?
That's called maturity. Maturity equates to having what ground up rewrites lack, and not having what rewrites in abundance have.
I'm not one of those cavemen who don't want to upgrade their technology.
Sounds like you are unfamiliar with TDE, or features lost in v4 and v5 (until now, e.g. session restore, and unique per virtual desktop wallpaper) and bugs devs "cannot reproduce" in order to fix (e.g. disappearing panel). I don't know anything that's missing from TDE other than bling (which I find to be virtuous). Same really goes for KDE3. Both TDE and KDE3 have more features I care about than the rewrites. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
