A) The KDE developers apparently didn't care about their existing userbase any more than Hans Reiser cared about people using Reiser3. (Before he murdered his wife, anyway.)
B) KDE 4.x actually _can't_ do a lot of the things KDE 3.x could. There's gobs of missing functionality.
I'm not trying to take issue with that. All I meant to say is that, from my perspective, most of what *I* expect from my desktop is still present. I wasn't speaking globally about Kubuntu or KDE's functionality. Remember, I make many fewer demands of my software than you do.
Which is why the KDE team should be worried, because if they're beginning to annoy people like me, who don't ask much and are pretty good at finding what they do ask for, in a basic office package.
