"Ever wonder what KDE 4.0 is going to look like when it is finally released some time this year ? As far as end users should be concerned, it is going to be much more beautiful, responsive and usable than KDE 3.5. Some of the features that it will have are as follows." Note: I thought the Kickoff menu was a SUSE thing, instead of being a KDE 4.0 thing?

Well, I have to disagree with you, superstoned. one of the reasons I moved from KDE to Gnome is exactly because Gnome is much more efficient and harmonious in handling the balance between dektop real estate, usability and attractiveness. KDE 3.x in this matter and in my opinion sucks a lot. Even with all the tweaking possibilities it provides (which are superior to Gnome) it is just too hard to make make it space efficient and attractive at the same time.
I also want to get work done, not to stare at the screen, but work is better done when you do it with pleasure, and the tools to achieve it are crucial to attain both pleasure and efficiency.
So far KDE 4 is a big interrogation for me, regarding the desktop usability, but I hope it succeeds in its mission!

sorry, but i don't agree. an average Gnome desktop definitely looks better, but can handle only 2/3 of the valuable workspace a comparable KDE desktop can handle. and as i want to get work done, and not stare at a 'clean & beautiful' interface, i prefer KDE.
