Why should Basil, me, or anyone else have to list each and every feature in 3.5 when those who are working on 4.* KNOW what the feature set is in 3.5? First, I don't have the time to do that, and 2nd, I shouldn't have to.
Very simple - because they may not use those features or they may use them rarely. And if they don't use those features and no one says anything, they won't include them because they will assume that no else uses them or misses them. There is no point in re-coding features just to make it exactly like KDE3 if they are never used.
Ah.....so if a programmer doesn't use a given setup feature, for example, then most users don't, eh? 'NOT any logic in that my friend. Interesting, 4.0 was released without the ability to hide the task bar. Work wasn't started on added that until I pursued it. Amazing...a feature of KDE for a LONG time, and VERY much used feature (common sense dictates you gain real estate on the desktop) and it wasn't included in 4.0. No wonder we're missing features.
