Re: Good and Bad

Just to say, as a trunk user of kde, i must say that 4.1 is going to rock because from about 2 weeks after the move to 4.4, trunk/ if becoming more and more stable and usable.im talking about the whole experience...
we have months to 4.1, but from now, im using it as my daily DE.
my main issue is the IRC and the fact that i have to load a client from kde3 (and load all kde3 libs) just for a client.
Kate needs some usability work on new Find/Replace andautocomplete dialogs.but its 100% usefull and stable.
Plasma is working good, like kicker+kdesktop and does much more.Amarok 2 is shaping up and is really rocking.Kmail works nice (i dont know about other pim parts, but kmail is stable)
what else? games are in a nice shape.Konqueror is much better than 4.0.x.it has a much better rendering (kudos to khtml devs) and is really more stable.it doesnt crash often and with new settings options that it got from dolphin for file view, its much more usable.
also kwin is getting lots of new compositing effects that many users like to see.
all im saying is that 4.1 will be as usable as 3.5 (probably much better).but for the new stuff like Akonadi, Sonnet and Nepomuk, __i think__ we still have to wait for 4.2 or even 4.3(for a really good experience) and thats why the software never finishes ;)
and 4.0 was never a fiasco.the reactions to 4.0 was what developers excepted.it was a 0.0 release... |
