When KDE 4.0 was first released, it was met with quite some criticism. Even though people saw the huge potential, the lack of functionality and stability, as well as quite a few bugs detracted from the experience. The KDE developers continued to work on implementing their relatively radical vision, and with the release of KDE 4.2 creeping ever closer, it seems they're well on their way.

KDE 4.x has been improving with each point release. I used to be a longtime KDE user and only switched to Gnome when I started using Ubuntu back in the day (circa 2005 or so) and have stuck with it ever since; switching back to my preferred Debian (by way of Parsix.) I've been watching the KDE 4 development with interest, however, because KDE was always the power user's desktop compared to the more simplified Gnome and I ultimately prefer it. I firmly believe that KDE 4.3 will truly be something to reckon with. :-) The old adage "good things come to those who wait" comes to mind when considering the trials and tribulations of KDE 4 testers. Hang in there guys...the payoff will be worth it!
