I dispute the existance of "huge gaps". :-)
It only takes one deal breaker to make an insurmountable (aka "huge") gap. Lack of equivalent session restore is all it takes to make v4 unusable for me, compounded by a bunch of irritating nit differences. I like the old way better, and have 0 use for eye candy and things that change on mouse hover.
I guess what this all boils down to is a number of us don't like being told we're going to have to put with being crammed into a limited Vista like box! And, as much as some aren't going to like my saying that...too bad. 4.* looks like another Vista "like" interface and so far, even though it looks nice etc., CONFIGURABILITY is sorely lacking! The eye candy and mouse hover stuff most of us will live with, but if we can't configure KDE like we and OUR USERS have in 3.5, then it's worthless to us because usability then has been drastically reduced. One just can't gloss over these issues, nor try to cram everyone in the same ticky tacky box. Some of these people sound like they should be working for MickySoft.
