"The first KDE 4 release will come along with several major changes compared to KDE 3.x. While explanations for these changes have been posted at several places before there is a central list missing which explains the reasons to normal users. This post lists some hot topics and tries to shed some light on the reasons behind certain decisions." Update: The release date for KDE 4.0 has been postponed from mid-December to January 11th 2008. I'll be sure to give you my address, Aaron. Insert smiley face.

When I read this post, though it explains a lot, I feel like the author is acting a bit condescending towards those who might have complaints or critics on some decision. I.e. the kickoff menu discussion is ended with: "there's been thoroughly user testing", pretty much a dead end to the discussion, but... while this might be true, things that shouldn't be in a menu (favorite aps/places i.e.) are put in a menu... perhaps it's done in the most optimal way to put it in a menu, but did any of the menu designers figured that these things don't belong there in the first place? One can use as much scientific tests as he/she'd like, in the end he'll never get the right answers if he asks himself the wrong questions to begin with.
But well, the coders deside, and luckily there are alternatives, and perhaps the stoneage will save the day.
