now tell me this. how many bugs have you wrote that you weren't aware of 
them?
that's really silly. there are tons of bugs in every software, and most 
of them are bugs the developer isn't aware of. it gets even worse with 
software as huge as a Desktop Environment, since you'll also be 
subjected to different behaviour on different hardware! do you expect 
the KDE dev team to try every single hardware configuration available?
i really agree with Dotan here, the author *is* an idiot, and KDE 4.1 is 
not very buggy. there's a whole difference between feature-lacking 
software, and buggy software! KDE 4.1 is lacking features, that doesn't 
make it buggy. i'm not saying it's bugless, but it's not that aweful as 
well. so far, i get a program crash about once every 3 days, which is 
just a program crashing, and funnily, i's a non-KDE app crashing, as for 
a system crash, or plasma system crash, or any major crash, i haven't 
seen any from the days of alpha4.
