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 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!
LOL that's what people were saying about 4.0. Then when 4.0 came out, everyone was saying how 4.1 was going to be the *real* release. Then when 4.1 came out, everyone was like, no, 4.2 is going to be the one to get! So now 4.3 is the shizna, and 4.2 is just pales in comparison? Haha. History is repeating itself yet again!
As much as I love KDE, it like so many open source projects are never done. This is a good thing and in some ways, a bad thing. Yeah I know, it will always improve! I know. But it doesn't stabilize for long. (incidently, kde 3 is mostly stabilized... nice)
