KDE 4.1 is supposed to make everything right with the recently troubled desktop. Everyone agrees now that KDE 4.0 was a mistake. However, what the mistake was -- and whose -- is a matter of opinion. KDE developers blame distributions for rushing to include a release that was never intended for everyday use, while users blame developers for changing everything. More here. Also, Tectonic published an article titled "Beyond the desktop with KDE4", while the now well-known for its sarcasm 'Linux Hater' blog has something to say too (warning: some profanity).

And please spare me the "oh my god, you are an editor on OS News, how can you write something like this about OSS?". Well, look, I NEVER lie. Just because I can post stories here doesn't mean that I don't have a personal opinion too.
Desktop OSS has been a disappointment and a failure to my experience and to what I need from an OS.
And that's that and there is nothing more to add in that, neither it makes sense to conceal this opinion under the pretentious "OSNews' senior editor" title.
This doesn't mean that I put forward my agenda though on the stories I publish. As you can see, I post both positive and negative articles about all topics. And of course, I will be HAPPY to post your opinion piece, taking on Linux Hater's opinions and rebutting them.
