All right, my turn to congratulate KDE on doing such a fine job.
<--rant arg=slight-->
I have been using Linux (Gentoo at that) for over 6 yrs. During that
time I have tried Gnome, KDE, and XFCE off and on. After spending
some time with each (2-3 weeks) I would always go back to a plain
window manager (Openbox or FVWM).
For the last 2yrs I had been using FVWM and had went to a lot of work
to get my desktop completely customized to how I liked it, then KDE
3.5 came out and I decided to give it a shot, especially since I had
been doing some reading about KDE 4 and was totally amazed by Plasma
and how they are planning on interfacing with DBUS / HAL. I must say
combining the easy configurability of KDE and the unbloatfullness of
split ebuilds. KDE is now just about perfect for me, my only 2
complaints that I have so far (1 being Amarok and not KDE) are I wish
KDE 3.5 was a little faster but that should get fixed with 4.x and I
wish that Amarok handled Podcasts with more flexibility and allowed me
to create playlists and such automaticlaly on my iPod (problem solved
by not using Amarok and using bashpodder / gnupod).
KDE has been a great experience and I can see why Linus prefers it
over Gnome (I used to enjoy Gnome more than KDE). This all being said
I am very excited to see what KDE dev's come up with next (maybe a
good Arts successor).
