Story: Speed improvements expected in KDE 4

In case anyone looks at this, here's my updated opinion

In my ancient comment to this article, I said that I'd seen nothing but sunshine and roses from KDE, only getting happier with every subsequent release, including 3.5.9. I want to update my experience. KDE 4 blows. )-: But don't worry, it'll (probably) get better. Users heard the promises of KDE 4 and demanded that distributions use it. Distributions tried it, didn't like it, caved into peer pressure, and packaged it anyway. (Sorry for being one of the users begging for it.) Users are now sticking to old distributions, because there's just about as much to love about KDE 4 as there is for Windows Vista. (For the sarcasm-illiterate, that is equal to zero.) But the KDE developers said, and you can find this all over the place on the Internet, that KDE 4.0 is going to be more of a development release than what we had expected. KDE 4.0 is fine if you don't want to actually DO anything. So, either help make "stuff" for KDE 4, help refine it, help report bugs, or wait patiently.
