But that means that KDE failed to build the industry coalition. Why? Totally unnecessary. Now KDE 4 has to be ready, 3.5 is an old plattform. The question is if KDE 4 will be there in time.

Umm, it's free software, programmed by volunteers. Since when have any of these volunteers ever needed an industry coalition in order to contribute? These sorts of coalitions generally tend to be PR groups only. The Linux kernel exists without some sort of coalition, and would continue to do so even if no one in industry cared.

KDE 3.5 is an old platform? What are you talking about? KDE 3.5 was released november 29, 2005. That is just over a year old. It has seen six minor revisions since then, so it is actively maintained. All these releases have made the platform more stable, faster, and more polished. It is a very mature and stable platform, and probably the platform of choice for the less adventurous users for quite some time to come.

Instead of bitching that KDE 4 is supposed to be ready, stop wasting time and actually start contributing to *getting* it ready.
