KDE 4.0.0 has been released on January 11th, after a number of delays; the months preceding the release, the KDE developers tried very hard to downplay expectations. KDE 4.0.0 was just the first release in the KDE 4 series, and such, should not be seen as the best possible representation of the KDE 4.0.0 vision. So, when I installed KDE 4.0.0 on my Ubuntu Gutsy installation last Friday, I knew what to expect: KDE 4 Developer Release 1 (yes, I am a BeOS guy - how did you know?). Read on for a few quick first impressions.

KDE has a very good and dedicated, but slightly overworked team of graphical designers. They've been doing a great job, even though there indeed is still a lot to be improved.
But saying it has been designed by coders is simply wrong. The applications are written by coders, and they probably didn't spend enough time yet on using every widget properly, aligning and stuff - but that's not the artists fault.
