Sometimes I wonder, lol. KDE4 is a good design... since its modular, it doesn't remove control and insane configurability from the user... not to mention it WILL run without compositing.
+1 I really love KDE for that and for the fact that I can easily configure it to my needs.
Same here. the combination of virtual desktops, activities (they work now), and the plasma thing, I can configure my desktop to do what i want and need... AND.. since 12.1, it's rock solid stable. I've got no significant issues (only a couple minor bugs which have been reported and he workarounds) with KDE.
Quite frankly, its time for a revolt! Gnome users need to flat out boycott Gnome 3 and support MATE, or at least Cinnamon.
And what about those users, who are happy with GNOME 3? They're existing. Really.
And therein lies the perception problem with any change. The people who don't like it, complain (as they should)... but... they are the only ones commenting on the interface changes.... this presents a VERY lopsided view of things when you look at the opinions of people towards that change... whatever it is... KDE3 to KDE4 transition... Gnome2 to Gnome3 or whatever.
As amazing as it may seem to those who are annoyed and frustrated with Gnome 3 or KDE4... there are more than likely a LOT more users who like it and are quietly using it. Well, regarding the voting that caused that horror to exist. That poll started with an assumption: That Gnome needs to change dramatically. Where was the vote of those who don't think the desktop needs to be an extension of the compositor?
