"After the recent release KDE 4.1 beta 2 and openSUSE 11 with KDE 4.0.4, some critics have been especially vocal in expressing their displeasure with the KDE 4 user interface paradigms. The debate has grown increasingly caustic as critics and supporters engage in a war of words over the technology. The controversy has escalated to the point where some users are now advocating a fork in order to move forward the old KDE 3.5 UI paradigms. As an observer who has closely studied each new release of KDE 4, I'm convinced that the fork rhetoric is an absurdly unproductive direction for this debate."

Except we're not (all) just bitching. I love the idea of KDE 4, I think the underlying technology and libraries could be amazing. I hope KDE 4 turns out to be the revolution in Open Source desktops I think it has the potential to be. I just don't think that the stuff I'm being shown is the best possible way to achieve that full potential.

I'm really getting tired with al those people complaining and bitching about KDE 4. If you don't like it, just move on. This is the free world! But stop complaining about it and attacking guys like Aaron Seigo.
I for one are in the KDE camp. I *liked* the design of KDE 4 from the beginning, I like the idea of Plasma, and yes, I like Aaron Seigo and the vision he has on the desktop.
