Could you please elaborate on what you don't like about the current KDE SC 4.7.2?
I know there are still some crashes that needs to be fixed, but other than that it's pretty stable. I know that because I'm currently on KDE 4.7.2 and I had Amarok crash a few times when I was using it.
And if you set "Folder View" as a desktop and revert back to the classic menu, you pretty much have the same DE that you had in KDE 3.x.
What exactly you don't like?

At the end of the day why make all the effort to make kde4 mimic kde3? Why not use kde3 instead? Its not supported? Enter Trinity.
There is absolutely nothing that I like in KDE4. From login to shutdown its an eyesore, disorganized, slow, and buggy. To fix this, for me, they would have to make it more or less identical to kde3. Since we already have kde3 and now a group is committed to update it, this is the fix kde4 needs.

If the problem was a few of the details then that is a viable solution, however when the entire project is the flaw (and with kde 4.x that is the case for many of us) then the only solution is a different DE. Being a huge fan of kde 3, this makes Trinity an ideal solution to the kde4 problem that we face.
