Why are you getting so heated about it? What difference does it make to you whether I use KDE4 or not? I am not trying to force you into using KDE3, nor being rude about the fact that you prefer 4. That is your prerogative.
But it is my prerogative to be disappointed that I feel that I shall probably need to desert KDE, which I love. Note that I have not yet done so. But as things stand, I feel no incentive to go through painful hoops to please the KDE4 lovers. So far I have a choice. There are even distros I can use: Debian and PCLinuxOS, to name but 2.
But KDE3 will die. Kubuntu has dropped it already and even Debian and PCLinuxOS will follow some day. Instead of using these distributions, you can continue to use KDE3 on openSUSE. It is still available in openSUSE 11.1 and it will be available for later openSUSE releases as well, at least in build service. Where is the problem? Why are many people here doing, like it is wiped away from openSUSE? If you want KDE3 to be actively developed, with new features, you have convince developers to that. An that's not only openSUSE KDE developers, but other KDE developers, too. So you are on the wrong list here.
When I feel that I no longer have a choice, I shall look at what is available and chose. If I disliked change, for its own sake, I would still be using Windows and driving a 1965 Hillman Avenger.
Yes, you have to look what is available. And keeping alive KDE forever is no option, especially if the price is that KDE4 cannot go forward, which includes getting the few features again, that KDE3 already has. Look forward not back.
