Not trying to be smart, but the KDE devs should KNOW what is missing. That's the problem. They "released" KDE4 way before it was ready and now WE have to go through and figure out what THEY forgot? That's not how it works. I try to give back to the community by doing what testing I can, but I don't have time to sit down and do their job for them. They are well aware of what doesn't work and what is missing. A large percentage of users have been complaining since they released KDE4.
I think the problem is that nobody actually knows all the many many features in KDE3, and thus there is no means to compare between the (probably non-existent) old (KDE3) feature catalog and the (probably non-existent, new) KDE4 catalog to see what's missing. KDE4 is so different from KDE3 that there should probably be a fork that users can stick with until such time as the KDE4 feature set rises to a similar caliber as that of KDE3, if it ever does. At the rate it's going, I wouldn't expect that to happen by KDE 4.2, or even 4.3 or 4.4. Maybe two years from now KDE4 might be ready to make such a claim, but I wouldn't bet on it. -- "Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry."
