15 questions, 0 answers from you. Is that because you couldn't figure it out either?
What I see there, and it's only a sample of v3 vs. v4 differences, is a whole bunch of paradigm shifts. Little works the way I expect, if I can even figure out how to do what I want at all.
Then ask.
I just did, 15 times. 0 answers.
There are too many differences, too many things missing,
such as?
You mean besides the 15 things you didn't answer?
KDE4 should be uniquely named to differentiate it better from its vastly different predecessor, and for the foreseeable future, full KDE3 development should be continued.
Yes, they are paradigm shifts. The whole point is that that was never in doubt. It was well-publicised long before KDE4 arrived on the desktop.
That's why it needed/needs a whole different name, to distiguish what it really is from what it professes to be. It's much too different to be a legitimate replacement for its namesake. I can't imagine learning how to use it is materially less difficult for a typical KDE3 user than learning how to use Gnome.
I do agree that the changes are big enough to feel quite daunting at first, but there are plenty of people around who are more than willing to help by explaining things. My objection is about whiners who make vague statements instead of asking for specific information. IMHO they have little intention of learning anything new, so should simply stay away, going with a KDE3 distro.
I asked. Where are the answers? More importantly, why should so many need ask or complain? There are too many non-obvious answers needed, too many differences among things that worked so well before "upgrading". People should not need so much to be asking anything just because of an "upgrade". That they do means something's very wrong with the "upgrade". -- "Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry." James 1:19 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
