The same thing was said when 3.0 first came out; 4.0 is work in progress; wait till 4.1 is out; then no one will care about 4.0. The main things I like in KDE are Kopete, Amorok, k3b, KOffice - and features like global spell checking. Sure, KOffice is a bit incomplete, but it doesn't royally suck in terms of performance when compard to OpenOffice.org/StarOffice. Matthew
