Around 3 weeks ago, I downloaded the 2nd beta of KDE 3.2 from their FTP site. I've been using this release every day since then. The purpose of my writing this piece is not to highlight KDE 3.2's new features and applications - read the Changelog at KDE's site for that - but to give you a complete picture of how it measures up to its previous versions in terms of everyday use. Does it make me more productive? Is the command line more efficient yet? Or, even better, does it make me use the command line more effectively? Read on...

Great review, with the first beta I've returned to kde from gnome 2.4 and I found great improvements, but also the same problems:
There are too many incomplete apps that do the same thing, for example the media players, you're right kaboodle and noatun simply sucks, they should switch to a full featured player like amarok or juk(the first is better, but the second has a better iTunes-like interface), and a good mplayer/xine frontend like gnome's totem (Kmplayer is good but I don't like its interface expecially the thin buttons, good for embedding it but not for a standalone player!). The same is for text editors, there are three text editors plus the embedded object that could be(at least in my beta) the advanced text component, qt text component(crashes) or (g/k)vim part (this is good!!!:-P)
