"After the recent release KDE 4.1 beta 2 and openSUSE 11 with KDE 4.0.4, some critics have been especially vocal in expressing their displeasure with the KDE 4 user interface paradigms. The debate has grown increasingly caustic as critics and supporters engage in a war of words over the technology. The controversy has escalated to the point where some users are now advocating a fork in order to move forward the old KDE 3.5 UI paradigms. As an observer who has closely studied each new release of KDE 4, I'm convinced that the fork rhetoric is an absurdly unproductive direction for this debate."

Yeah! Why not what for a while until the software has matured before starting to make forks and whatnot? Give it a chance to mature and give people a chance to adjust to a "new" environment for g*ds sake!
Is it KDE:s fault that some distros are shipping a version of their software that is not "complete"? It's a "bleeding-edge" distro, and I guess the users of those are prepared to live with the hassle of it?
