I agree that there will always be some people bitching about things
but in some case they are correct. If you buy a new car you expect it
to start and run. If you start it and black smoke pours out then you
have a reason to be mad. If you start it and seat is adjusted wrong
then you have the responsibility to fix that problem without bitching
about it.

KDE4 should not be default YET. People download the current Kubuntu
and expect it to work not be like some Beta software. If you buy a car
and black smoke pours out you don't expect people to tell you, you
should have purchased last years version. If they just don't like it
because it lacks polish that is yet a different thing.
