KDE 4.1 is supposed to make everything right with the recently troubled desktop. Everyone agrees now that KDE 4.0 was a mistake. However, what the mistake was -- and whose -- is a matter of opinion. KDE developers blame distributions for rushing to include a release that was never intended for everyday use, while users blame developers for changing everything. More here. Also, Tectonic published an article titled "Beyond the desktop with KDE4", while the now well-known for its sarcasm 'Linux Hater' blog has something to say too (warning: some profanity).

Which is a legitimate opinion. I even sympathize a little. I've always found that while remaining preferable to their inexpressive, proprietary brethren, open source projects often tend to lack that little 'polish', that last mile that is needed in a desktop application.
And no, you have been good about not pushing your agenda through your role as staff (at least, until now). In fact, this came as a bit of a surprise to me.
None of this excuses the sort of ignorant, empty, hate-spewing (and really, his name is appropriate - he is full of nothing but hatred) rhetoric that is found on such places as the Linux Hater's blog.
There is a right way and a wrong way to critize. Proper criticism gives those you critique the opportunity to learn and to grow from what you have to say. The Linux Hater, and others like him, resort to simple belittlement and mockery of those that they disagree with.
That's the easy way out.
