Many people (including me) are using KDE4 and it's
very clean and user centric
i found it overtly hostile to basic tasks, like finding a web browser in an app menu
plus it caused the boot-to-GUI proces to take 3 minutes
no problem. Why do some people still have problem
using an app just because
it's a QT or KDE app? I don't get that.
because, at least on Gentoo, it requires compiling all of KDE and QT, which can be a
multi-day affair (compare w/ 5 seconds for dwm, 10 mins for xorg, and 15 for webkit, a
'WebOS' system in a half hour)
then when you launch a KDElibs app, it launches 10 odd daemons, kdeserver, dcop, etcetc,
sucking 200 MB of ram
Messy? No way!
the hodgepodge of panels and default icons was certainly messy
