As I see it the only constant in the universe is change. From the very 
first moments of life it has always been adapt or die. KDE3 was great. 
KDE4 came along and broke some stuff. I was upset. But, I adapted and 
KDE4 is great now. Plasma came along. I hated it. I assume it is running 
somewhere on my computer now but it doesn't effect me. I suppose it 
adapted and now Plasma is great [ older version ]. Plasma changed, but 
I'm not using that version yet so I can't tell how it will effect me in 
the future. In a year it might break something and then it might have 
changed and things will work out fine. Either way I plan on adapting.

No critter likes "change". We all want things to remain just as they 
are, and always have been. The change from KDE3 to KDE4 meant that I had 
to learn to use a new piece of software. Another piece I relied on 
dropped out of the repository recently so I had to get creative. I 
adapted. Did I like it, NO!

Just my thoughts on the subject. YMMV!
