I was always attracted to the look of KDE, but was very disappointed after trying 4.1, it was unstable and unusable that I start wondering how can they release such a software with alpha stage quality. First I liked the concept of widgets but I discovered that it doesn't really add value any real value to the user experience. Still, I always have thoughts to switch to KDE because of the great KDE applications (eg. Konsole), but after trying 4.1 I need now a very good reason to consider doing this again.

When oh when will it ever become stable? I've been trying KDE off and on since 1999 (KDE 1.1) and, while I've always enjoyed the consistency of its apps and the integration, I've always had to leave it behind because it's just too buggy to be trusted. Now, 10 years later, the situation seems to be no better. Come on guys! Forget the shiny things and the feature creep, just make the darn thing WORK, please! KDE: The DE that I WANT to love.

IMHO bugs and crashy negate the word 'stable". Maybe shiny and wobbly would have been a better title.

How could they possibly not include that in 4.1? Did they finally include a freaking widget like KDE 3.x had to launch 1 program from the panel? How could they possibly not include that in 4.1?
