I certainly can't deny this, and deplore the current state of kubuntu.
OTOH, I just recently installed 8.04 LTS because that is what the realtime
part of an emc install needs, emc being Electronic Machine Control, the free
version of the rs-274 language developed by NIST 2 decades ago. With some
nice gui's wrapped around it, it is a very good CNC program. I run a small
milling machine with it.
This 8.04 LTS install of course came with gnome, and TBT, the gnome folks
have been listening to their users a lot closer than the KDE people have, and
I could use that interface happily if KDE were to just go away. The only
thing I'd miss in kmail, and even that has been in need of wart remover for a
long time.
