There are features that haven't made it to kde4 such as koffice. I added OpenOffice but that can be a long compile. One of my favorite sites crashes konqueror, which wasn't a problem on kde3. I left my slower machine, which I use for e-mail, and web browsing running kde3 and play with kde4 on my system that can do a portupgrade -pfR kde4 in 7 hours and build OO in less than 2 hours. It is running kde-4.3 now and it has been recursively rebuilt. The browser crash is still there. I can use the packages of common ports to update the slower machine. They are on a 4-port kvm and it is too easy to simply use the machine that works the best.
