Hello,
I am a new and proud regular user of Kubuntu. I was testing the Kubuntu 10.04 development release along side the Ubuntu development release and I am happy to say that KDE is now my favorite desktop. I have been using Ubuntu (Gnome) since the release of 8.04, and tried Kubuntu off and on since then, and I have to say that 10.04 is by far the best release for Kubuntu yet. I haven't found a single KDE related 'show stopper' problem/bug in this release yet. I did see some widget glitches one day when I was using the Analog Clock widget on the desktop and occasionally I will see a crash notice if I force quit some applications before they are fully loaded though. There were plenty of non-kde bugs for me to report (of course) so I didn't miss out on any of the fun, most of which were already reported on the Ubuntu side of my dual boot setup.
There are alot of little features in KDE that I was never aware of, which I now like using. For instance, I can create application shortcut widgets from the menu/kicker, to the desktop, and they won't get deleted or moved out of position if I lock the widgets. This is so handy! I like being able to sort icons in different ways, arrange to grid, etc. I also like having a built in wallpaper changer too. I also like how updates are handled in KDE's update manager, and I like the way how the icons in the System Tray can be hidden and popup notices can be adjusted there too. I never realized those little (but very helpful) things about KDE, while I was using Gnome as my preferred desktop all along. My Kubuntu boot times are not too shabby for a Pentium 4 either, averaging 34 seconds using 'bootchart'. Another thing I appreciate in Kubuntu is not implementing Ubuntu's newest features... since I'm not a person who would need them. (no offense)
So, thanks Kubuntu Team! Your are doing a fantastic job with Kubuntu Lucid.
