For me and a lot of others, it was worthless at first. It was good eye candy but not functional even for the little I do. Yea, it is what I want but it is also what MANY others wanted. Some of those people switched to something else or still use KDE3. It's their code, but if people stop using it, what is it really worth? I'm sure KDE wants to gain users not piss them off and make them go away. For me, if KDE does such a lousy switch over again, I'll be using something else. Given the posts I read where others have already done so, I doubt I would be alone. I'm all for second chances. We all learn the hard way sometimes. I'm just hoping KDE did. Dale :-) :-)
