Has Kubuntu become less stable?

I have been using kde since 3.x and has since been using 4.xx but then I 
got several problems, kmail did not work properly and I got some constant 
akonadi error messages and the setup of kde was difficult, so now I have 
left kde.

I have both gnome, kde and unity (netbook) installed, and is now using 
the netbook as my default desktop and some kde -and gnome programs, and 
that works well for me.

But that's not a good solution because you cannot expect linux newbies to 
use kde because of all those small problems and the constant changing of 
programs.
