I have high hopes that someone might start a fork from the main KDE stream and continue to support KDE 3.x.x. Sadly I myself have not got the skills needed. :-(
Have you ever used KDE 4.1.3? Haven't you noticed that no one wants to maintain KDE 3 or fork it?
Haven't you read that he can't use 4?

Unfortunately, that is exactly what happens to me and probably some others on this list. Bling actually blinds me, in that I cannot see properly, and start to feel ill.

There is some bling in KDE 3.x.x, but I am given the opportunity to turn it off _before_ I have to look at the desktop. And I can avoid compiz by just not installing it.
From what I have read of KDE 4 I would find it totally unusable, because I would not be able to see to adjust it and work out where things are.
I would love to take your advice and not let the bling blind me. Unfortunately, I do not have that option.
Lisi wrote that he can't stand bling, I assume he means compiz-like effects. He can disable them if he wants to, he can change KDE colours if he doesn't like them (I did). He also says he would find KDE4 unusable based on other people's opinion. How can one be unable to use KDE 4 if he hasn't tried it?
