OFF:
I have made mistake to install new 11.2 to all the user PCs in my company and now everybody is crying to get them back KDE3, because KDE4 is so much slower (all desktop effects turned off, newest NVIDIA drivers, dual core CPUs with 2GB+ RAM), and much more complicated, and has all those unneeded stuff (like plasma - I still cannot find what is it good for), and does not have some tihings that were good in KDE3 (like little "hide taskbar" icons on the left/right).
Hello: I am happy to learn that I am not the only one who is very unsatisfied with KDE4. I also have to confirm that KDE4 is really much slower than KDE3. I have tried it several times on openSUSE 11.1 but would not use it for everyday use; sorry I have to correct myself, I would not use it for anything but testing. I even don't know why is it called KDE. It should look alike or resemble at least in something to conventional KDE, but is does not. I would rather call it a dulled gnome ("DGNOME from the KDE team"). It may sound disrespectful but during my more than then years linux experience I never met anything so unattractive as KDE4. Functionality and usability is very far from those of KDE3. Once I raised at this forum the issue of the abovementioned hide taskbar buttons but Sven Burnmeister has told me off and said that if it would be really wanted it had been already included. He also said that KDE3 is past but KDE4 IS FUTURE. And - maybe the most important point - if KDE4 is KDE why one has to learn to use it from scratch? The experience from KDE2, KDE3 doesn't lead you anywhere in KDE4. What does it has to do with KDE at all then?
