KDE4.0 was released very early and it was underdeveloped at the time, which was considered stupid by a lot of users. But there were no mistakes in *design*, it just lacked configurability and features. This of course improved over time, and today it is arguably better than KDE3.5 has ever been.
There were no mistakes in design? That's all well and good but people can't use a product that isn't there yet. I honestly don't understand why there's a trend to drop an older version of a product, release a next generation version which does *less* than the older version. And they wonder why people bitch about it?
In contrast, Gnome3 introduced some stuff (that most people here dislike) as a *design* *decision*, and they have no intention of changing it --- which is not something that is going to change so easily over time. I really wonder if anyone will ever persuade the Gnome3 devs to put back the Shutdown button where it belongs. ;-)
Or why I have to press Alt + RMB to pop up a menu on a panel in Gnome? Seriously, WTF?
