"The next-generation of the KDE open source project, version 4.0, has been touted as the beginning of a new era in desktop computing, but only two months from the first release some users are wondering if it's just all hype. KDE 4.0 will bring a collection of new technologies to the Linux and Unix desktop, but there are uncertainties around how much of it will be included in the initial release. KDE user Andreas Pakulat expressed doubt about how the release will take shape in a blog post titled 'Where's the KDE4 desktop?'." KDE's Aaron Seigo also shares his thoughts on this.

From what I've seen for KOffice 2.0 this rewrite will definitely be worth the efforts of the devs.
The work for all the apps and their reuse of parts within each other is going to make KOffice 2.0 be a very nice solution for any small to mid-size office. With the plugin architecture in place and the work on Krita, Kspread, KWord I just hope the same detail gets put to the rest of the suite.
I've used KDE 3.1 since it was released along-side OS X and I find both invaluable to my work and both make me a very productive person.
On a side note, I'm really looking forward to Kile 2 to eventually move to KDE 4 and make that phenomenal LaTeX/XeTeX editor indispensable for anyone who has to write something as long as The Arabian Nights or as technical as Particle Physics.
We live in a time when Software Development will be that added tool all fields of Engineering must have and will only aide in our getting off this f***'in rock and see something for a change other than video from NASA.
