Agreed, when KDE4 runs ever major bit of software just as well as 3
but with less cpu usage and less memory usage and does it without me
having to edit 20 files, I will switch also. If not then it is not an
improvement. I don't like eye candy, well I like it for a about 60
minutes, after that I want to get work done. If it improves my work
flow then I am all for it. If it improves beauty then that is good to
but not at the cost of many cpu cycles or memory. My computer is a
tool for doing things, the desktop is the bit for moving from tool to
tool and maybe helping with the transfer of data.
