But Basil, why should I change the way I want to do things just because the Devs decided to leave out this useful feature (hide button)?
You don't and they may not have. You can remain with KDE3 has has been offered ad naseum here. Have you not seen it? And, you do not know that the Devs decided to leave it out (feature as you want it) or it just hasn't been coded yet or *you* have not told the Devs that *you* wish this feature. Is it easier to sit here and continually complain rather than contribute or report?
Why should I adopt your way?
Don't unless you want to.
I don't want to always hide the task bar, it has a wealth of information on it. I want to quickly and easily hide it for the duration of specific tasks.
If you don't want those hide buttons you can turn them off. But if that feature is left out, no one can have them.
Left out, ommitted, forgotten, not high on Devs list, .... You only know that it isn't there. Make a request for the feature. You do not know that the omission was intentional. But it will not magically appear w/o *you* stepping up and doing *your* part. Request the feature you desire!

No need for this comment as it is continuous.
I just can't fathom why people jump in and defend dropping very useful features just because THEY don't use it.
You are misreading the "defenders'" comments. It's not being defended.
This is just wrong headed, arrogant, and inconsiderate. Where did that attitude come from, and how did it infect the Linux community?
You have brought it with your assumption. Will you be *that* apple in the barrel?
Has the defense of KDE4 progressed to the point that the entire open source ethos are at risk? I avoid Gimp like it had the plague. I detest Amarok. But I never suggest they should be dropped. Some people like these things. They are welcome to them. Why even chirp in with "I never use that"?
And you do not have to use KDE4. You have a choice.
