I've only been playing with KDE4.x for a few days and there are several 
things I'm not so crazy about [ this plasmoid crap for one thing ]. 
There are many things I like WAY more about KDE3.x. Things I'm sure are 
lost and gone forever. So, now I just have to come to terms with what's 
here. I'm quite sure that with time we all will come to deal with what 
it IS [ but sometimes think about what it might have been ]. The biggest 
hurdle is peoples unwillingness to change. There are some out there that 
think the CLI is the ONLY way to go. For them that's just fine. For 
some, me included, KDE3.x was the cats meow.  In a couple years there 
will be people that feel the same way about KDE4.x. That's how life is.

If your a programmer type and don't like it, make your own. Perhaps your 
will take over the Linux world.

The only constant is change.

Time wounds all heels.
