The day when KDE 3 will no longer be viable is getting closer every day. Please tell me what problems you are having with KDE 4.3 so that we can get them fixed. KDE 3 is great because it is mature, configurable, and feature-laden without being bloated. I do not want to see that go to waste! It is the KDE 3 holdouts who have the attention to detail to distinguish the "little things" that make KDE 3 so great that are currently lacking in the KDE 4 branch.
Note that KDE 4.3 really solves most of the issues for me and most other people that I deal with. In fact, the features is adds over KDE 3 were enough to get me to switch. So please try KDE 4.3 and _let_me_know_ what does not work for you so that we can file bugs. I want to know about missing features, unintuitiveness, bugs, regressions, anything. You _will_ need to relearn some minor things as KDE 4 is a rewrite of KDE, not a Qt4 port of KDE 3, however let's get the major issues fixed.
Thanks. KDE really needs the picky, stubborn KDE 3 users to push the devs (who might not have the same attention to detail as us) in the right direction. I'm here to bridge the gap between us (the users) and the devs.
Dont really care about this either way as I stopped using KDE some time back, and KDE4 seems to introducing some of things that originally prompted me check out Linux as an alternative to M$, my real concern is indications in reports like the article below... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/08/20/opensuse_top_default_to_kde/ Although this is only a change to the default setting of a radio button, my worry is that this could be the thin end of the wedge and I really would prefer *not* to be forced to install KDE (which I no longer use) so that I can install something that I want to use. I have no desire to start a religious war on this, but choice of preferred desktop is an important feature of the Linux experience, and marginalising desktops other than KDE would a worrying development. - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
