every kde user has in mind, that kde4 is quite young.
I think it's quite clear for everybody that if you want stability, you 
should use kde3. If you are going to be on the edge - give a try to kde4.

i do not understand your kde4 bashing. You are free to use or not to use 
it. Nobody (i hope so) forces you to use kde4 right now.

forking kde3 is not the best idea. I agree with Larry's position for that.

And... KDE is open project. If you dislike some things there - you can 
join kde team. Fix bugs there. Implement a feature. Write a doc.  
Translate it! You are _able_ to change current state. I believe it is 
more correct way to express yourself than just grumbling :)
