The KDE team has released KDE 4.3. This release comes packed with improvements and bug fixes - in fact, over the last six months, 10000 bugs were squashed, 2000 feature requests handled, and 63000 changes were checked in by 700 people. We've already talked about this new release in quite some detail last week, but let's take a look at the most important new features anyway.

No, I think people should just turn off Desktop Effects( or turn off "Show Window contents while resizing") and stop moaning then, it's not like it's a 'needed' feature to use KDE.

KDE4.3 does work just fine unless the distributions add their dirty buggy patches or experimental network manager which crashes plasma (Yes Kubuntu).

I think you've missed the threads under this story where KDE4's poor *2D* performance has been discussed. Turning off desktop effects does not correct the most serious issues.

Which for the most part is shitty graphics drivers not accelerating it proper. I have very smooth 2D performance on my 7800GTX, which is old in GPU terms.

Guess what? The Nouveau driver has much better 2D performance than the Xorg one. Get the picture yet?
