OpenSuSE was wise to preserve kde3 for 11.3. From the contents of the message above, it would be equally wise to preserve kde3 for 11.4 as well....
Releasing broken software is never a good idea... If you think KDE4 is anything other than beta, despite the astronomical release number following the K the D and the E, the link above should remove all doubt.
Thank God for Ilya -- good to be with you man :)
well, i was happy with KDE 4.5.x, and now am with 4.6 RC2. that they include an earlier release of the kdepim suite in their stable releases (4.5 & upcoming 4.6) doesn't seem overly problematic to me; these versions work fine. in fact, i'm using the up-to-date kdepim version from the kdepim46 repo, and the only thing it has problems with is importing large amounts of data; otherwise it runs fine, too.
i wish you happiness with KDE 3.5 and hope it'll remain available, but i prefer windowmaker or awesome if i want to see something different than KDE4 for a while.
I have to agree with phani here. KDE 4.6 is working very well so far. Yes, KDEPIM was held back, but for good reason.. it didn't work as they wanted, and rather than releasing potentially broken software to everyone, they made the call to hold it back one release (hmmm that's opposite of the original implication here). Seems like a good thing.... and.. KDEPIM is available (the 4.6 builds) anyway if you want to install it. That thread doesn't provide any insight at all to be honest... it's just someone's misunderstanding and frustration with the KDE4 in Kubuntu. Brad Hards' reply on that thread is accurate from my view.... did anyone read it? That link doesn't make me think KDE4 is Beta.. it's no more "fixed" or "broken" than any other part of the Linux landscape, be it Pulse Audio, Gnome, the autodetect your monitor thing in X, KDE3, KDE4, or whatever bit you want to point at.
