So according to openSUSE a beta or less than beta quality product (that time) is at least an adequate replacement for a stable very usable product. Nice.
Unfortunately, this is very pointless. We've all had this arguement over and over. KDE4 was chosen because the devs decided that they needed a lot of stuff that a lot of KDE users didn't care about, so KDE3 has been dropped and only those of us who don't code evidently want to support it, so it's now a dead end.
I first fought going to KDE4 when openSUSE first presented the pre-beta release as ready for prime time with 11.1. The change HAD to take place to have a foundation for new and upcoming features. Some of them are great and getting better some I could care less about. The fact is that a change in the underlying code had to take place. I have been using it with 11.2 for a while now and have pretty much assimilated to it. Either embrace KDE4 or move on to something else.
