One reason was, that the devs (at least the ones at SUSE are backporting some of the features KDE4.1.3 was lacking.
And I realize that. But, it seems like a lot of work to backport something when we could havejust integrated KDE 4.2 Beta, delayed the release back to an 8 month schedule(which shoudl have given time for 4.2 to stabilize), and then just have 4.2. Since I'm not a developer, I don't know how or why things are done or decided upon.
You should have less time for ranting, but to look foward what is new in KDE4, its really interesteing and KDE 4.1.3 + Backports from KDE4.2 is much better, than KDE4. Sure!
So, when I point out an issue, I am ranting? Nice. I don't accuse anyone of ranting, but I'm a ranter. If you want a rant, I can say: "KDE4 sucks, is crap, and the devs are a bunch of stupid idiots for wasting their time writing it!" See, that was a rant.
Forget the polls. The only people that participate in such polls are the unsatisfied ones. Most of the people who like KDE4 haven't voted (including me).
Whatever. If you didn't bother, then you didn't do anything to contribute. WE as a community were ASKED to tell the devs what we were using.
Long time I have read these rants and have been silent. But now I cannot accept the attacks on SUSEs KDE team, because they are really working hard to fill the gaps you are seeing in KDE4. You should thank team instead of ranting.
No one is "attacking" the openSUSE team. We are questioning why things were done the way they were done. Too much work seems to have been done making bling and not enabing useful features. That's a fact, and if we are considered "attacking", then all of us are just wasting our time.
I cannot see much shortcomings left in KDE 4 of openSUSE 11.1. Mostly in applications, but that's no big problem, I can continue to use the KDE3 apps. And I am sure there will be some online updates for some programs.
Short comings? Well, let's see, it's slower than KDE3 on the same hardware(I have shown this severl times), it uses as much resources as KDE3(I've posted my results several times), and it is harder to turn off the unncessary things that some of us don't care for. There are people who like gnome as well, and I don't bash them. I just don't use it. And KDE4 is at that point right now. Your attitude shows that I'm wasting MY time, and should just quit trying to contribute in a non-developer way to one of the best distros around.
