Which KDEs? If you're comparing 11.1/KDE3 to 11.2/KDE4, you're comparing a mature product (KDE3) to an alpha/beta (KDE4). KDE3 is clearly more reliable than the KDE4 that shipped with 11.2. If you're using KDE3 in 11.2, you're using a product that got no material official testing and has no support, clearly not something to expect to be better than the KDE3 that is supported in 11.1.
I disagree to some extend. KDE4 is already longer out of the beta stage.
That's one of the Linux world's best known jokes. Regardless of what they were officially called, 4.0/4.1 were pre-alpha/alpha; 4.2/4.3 were alpha/beta; and 4.4 seems to be RC or close thereto.
I am now using the (suse) KDE 4.3.5 and found it stable enough.
Oh how many machines, at what CPU speeds, with how much RAM? There are so many KDE3 features missing from even KDE 4.4 that it can hardly be considered a replacement for KDE4 no matter the assigned version number, and KDE 4 was certainly even less mature in 11.2's 4.3. Maybe in 4.5 or 4.6 it might reach feature parity, if not stability. Maybe. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
