> I would not complain at all if 4.0.0 had been released as either Beta or the unstable branch (like other OSS).
I recalled when GNOME released their 2.0, all people cursing GNOME devs for that release (did you remember, they did huge change to GTK and GNOME?), but now it is already very mature so that they think no big architectural changes should be introduced in the next few years.
And also 4.0 is not merely for desktop users, we need to attract application developers to start utilizing the new KDE library.
> I am starting to wonder if KDE is making the Vista mistake. The DeskTop is being radically changed. The question is whether users actually want this or if they would be happier with Kicker and KDesktop ported to KDE4. Since Plasma isn't going to be ready for 4.1.0, perhaps we should still consider doing this. The problem is that there are issues with Kicker and KDesktop that would need to be fixed.
Uhmm... that's what people said when XP was released, MS did mistake by releasing XP at that point. And also when OS X 10.0 was first released.
> IAC, I think that there are users that would be much happier if the KDE 3 DeskTop GUI was ported to KDE 4.
Yeah, but they'll start bitching again when they see other cool desktops: "Hey, other desktops can do this XYZ cool stuffs, why can't KDE do this? So we will never be able to satisfy all users. |
