I want KDE4 to work and be better than KDE3. I just get tired of when a user complains about something, the KDE4 people accuse them of ranting, not contributing, being negative for the sake of negativity, etc. They may just have a point you know. Why must they be "jumped" on and scolded like they were unappreciative children?
Besides saying KDE4 is unusable because you personally are hit by a few inconveniences, is far fetched - especially as you _are_ actually using KDE4. Already when 11.0 was released with 4.0 a survey showed a very large uptake of KDE4,
And that was probably because many people, like me, wanted to see what it was all about and hoping for the best. I tried 11.0 with 4.0 and was so dissapointed I blew it away
and surely 4.2 is a heck of a lot better than 4.0 was -
Yes, I am now testing 11.1 with 4.2 and it is dramatically and decidedly much better. (11.1 itself still has many problems though) ...<snip more>......
KDE 4.2 factory packages are already a rather nice experience albeit a bit rough from time to time as should be expected from factory - sure it still has bugs and some regressions compared to KDE3, that's life,
Yes it certainly does. and that is the point. "that's life" ? Hmmmm..Not so sure about that. Wasn't by chance or fate that is for sure.
it also has tons of improvements over KDE3.
Welllll... Now here we go! That is what all of the KDE4 fans point out. I don't think that is a true statement. I have yet to see them. Wish somebody would enumerate them or point them out to me.....Please ???....
By November official SUSE-enhanced KDE 4.3.x packages will be much, much better still than the current factory packages.
We ALL hope that. There are still so many small niggling things. I just go with my weekly upgrades and hope that they dissapear.
Have some patience and perspective. A lot has happened in the last 14 months, and with KDE4 gaining momentum even more could happen in the next 8 months.
I have lots of patience. Just keep waiting and watching. I don't worry about it though because I give 11.1 with 4.2 a couple of hours everynight to see what I can learn and/or fix/configure it to work the way I want it to. After that I go back to my rock solid 10.3 with 3.5-10 to do what I really want to do the way I want to do it.
