As well, KDE's track record on this is not exactly
stellar. KDE4 was
basically unusable up until 4.3 or so.
I'd dispute that. I've used KDE 4 since it came out
and never had major
problems with it (other than completely missing the
point of the whole
Activities stuff, easily solved by ignoring it). The
chest-beating about
the supposed disaster that was KDE 4 always seemed to
me somewhat over
the top, but YMMV.
Are you kidding? You'd have thought Fedora was eating people's babies - without salt - the way this list blew up when KDE4 came out in Fedora.
We're just seeing the same shit today. It'd be funny if it weren't so pathetic.
This *is* the bleeding edge. Sometimes it's dangerously sharp, but it always produces better and better code. Sometimes getting to the good stuff takes wading through some bad, it's just the way of the world.
This whole series of threads is just freaking ludicrous. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" - George Santayana.
For those of us who've been around a while, this is like fingernails on a chalkboard that we have to listen to it every couple of years.

Some folks saw this coming! Turns out that now other desktops are following suit to TabletLand, even windows 8 :( The traditional desktop is apparently dying :( We ***guninea pigs*** got to test that out(kde 4 series in Fedora 9), gnome 3 series as well :) It has sharp edges, but it will get there. The Mint Folks have nice looking themes that maybe can be brought into Fedora for nice incorporation for those users that liked Gnome 2.X :)
