KDE 4.0 - When a time schedule trumps a quality standard

Re: KDE 4.0 - When a time schedule trumps a quality standard

Sorry to be 'negative' on this, but I've been watching (and reading) the many posts concerning all the problems being experienced with KDE 4.0, leaving me with the question:

WHY was KDE 4.0 released at all?

From what I've been reading from the posts, this release doesn't even meet the quality standards to even be called a Beta release. Alpha seems more apt. Developers: Hate to even say this, but not even M$ has (to my knowledge) ever released a 'major upgrade' that has as many problems as KDE 4.0 does.

I said this before, and I'll say it again: Develop to a standard and not to a time schedule. I for one, am not moving to KDE 4.0 until it achieves at least the 'working status' of KDE 3.5.8.

I've seen this asked several times everywhere and I made a blog post to try and clear this issue (I don't mean to plug, its just that the post is long).
