There are a great many 'I hate KDE 4' messages on many lists, and has been said here, most are so vague that you can't answer them logically. When people have brought up a specific point I have often found that it was something that can be done in KDE 4, but not in the same way. I have tried on-list and off-list telling people how to get the functionality they crave, but usually there is simply no response - on or off-list.
I can only conclude that they are too lazy to learn another way of doing something.
Interestingly, some of the changes that annoyed me at first are now not only second-nature to me, but actually feel more productive than the old ways. There are, of course, one or two things that I'm still waiting to see, but they are icing on the cake. Everything I need to be productive is in place (though ports of some packages are still in progress and KDE 3 versions currently in use).
If any user truly wants to understand KDE 4, let him ask specific questions. Those of us that have successfully made the change will be only too glad to help.
A very new resource is the wiki at http://userbase.kde.org. It has only been in existence since Mid-September, and still needs contributions. In particular, if you have been answering questions on lists, please add hints and tips to the various pages. Thanks

Hello Anne, A blast from the Mandrake past. I knew you would find your way over to the openSuSE list. Welcome Ah... We had such good times on the Mandrake list in the 7.0-8.0 days before Mandrake went public, stopped listening to its users and made nutty decisions for the distribution and then -- imploded. I still miss civileme's guidance. Let us hope we can have another good long time of this list as well and also hope that openSuSE has the sense to wakeup and not follow Mandy's lead. SuSE/openSuSE really has been a great distro up until the time this nutty decision about KDE4 popped up. The list here is still the best around -- regardless. So welcome aboard Anne, and... I hope you got that little samba problem fixed. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
