Re: Linus hates KDE 4, too.
Sometimes this 6-month-period they have to release a new version of their GUI / OS is a real mistake, they wouldn't have scared anyone, especially people like Linus, if they waited for another month or 2 in order to release a more stable version (it could have been KDE 4.1 not 4.0) and some of this people would still continue "supporting" KDE and Kubuntu (or any other KDE based OS).
I know it was a risk they had to take, but com'on people, they should have been more careful, the first impression is something so important for people nowadays that you can't just forget about it... Why would someone get a brand new bike without a seat or a wheel? The bike itself might not be perfect, but if it at least complies to the minimum specs, no one would ever get disappointed, no one would complain this much.
I must admit I took the risk to install the KDE 4.0 when I still had Hardy installed on my system and I didn't like it. Even so I was hoping Intrepid with the 4.1 would be much better and in some way it's better, not as much as I initially expected, but still a better (and slower...) GUI. I really hope the stable version of the KDE 4.2 will make me feel much better, much more comfortable.
