"Starting with KDE version 4.3.1 shipped with openSUSE 11.2 it is considered that KDE4 is at least an adequate replacement for KDE3 and for resource reasons KDE3 is not supported." So according to openSUSE a beta or less than beta quality product (that time) is at least an adequate replacement for a stable very usable product. Nice.
Unfortunately, this is very pointless. We've all had this arguement over and over. KDE4 was chosen because the devs decided that they needed a lot of stuff that a lot of KDE users didn't care about, so KDE3 has been dropped and only those of us who don't code evidently want to support it, so it's now a dead end. I also do not find KDE4 a useful or suitable replacement for KDE3. I've had to spend countless hours trying to figure out how to turn off garbage and find out where the things I use have went(either removed or hidden). I've pretty much given up. On a positive note, I've found LXDE a better replacement than KDE4. KDE4 is SLOW, where LXDE is as fast or faster than KDE3. While I would have prefered to keep KDE3, it's no longer a viable option. 11.0 is now depreciated so it's only a matter of time before it's no longer a viable option. That was probably the last best release with a good KDE3. 11.2 isn't bad, but I never found it as good as 11.0.
