KDE4

Is there anyone brave enough to use KDE4 on their computer - everyday?

I'd like to use it, but it's just too basic and for now gives no great benefits over KDE3.x. The Dolphin file browser is a particular step backwards, reminds me of MS-Windows file manager rather than the much easier and faster to use Linux file manager (in KDE3.x).

Plus, lots of people have not ported their applications to use KDE4.

The KDE4 project feels like using the Linux user base as beta testers, it doesn't feel ready for a full-time roll out. The project promises a lot, but so far has failed to deliver.

i used also kde 4.1.2, but just sometimes.. it's like the feeling want it.. gnome or kde one of them.. ;)

I still prefer KDE 3.5.9 over KDE 4.1.X. I don't know why, but it still feels so uncomfortable.
Does someone know how to change the amount of rows for programs in the taskpanel? I need two: XD
And at least for me all the control elements are too large. I prefer the decent looking KDE 3-style, with some additional design manipulation.

I don't like KDE4 at all :(
I prefer KDE3x

KDE4 made me return back to KDE3, then replace all KDE by Openbox...

I've been used it for 2 hours and until I understand that KDE 4 is total crap and switched to KDE 3.5.9

I'm using KDE 4 since 4.0...this helped me a lot learning all the console commands :-)

KDE 4.1.2

I have used KDE 4 since KDE 4.0 was released. Of course I used KDE 4.0 only for a moment. After I used KDE 4.1 from alpha to stable release. Actually I want to compile KDE from svn again :).

You can always add an additional panel :)
That's what I did eventually.

I like KDE 4.1 a lot. I prefer it over Gnome and XFCE. and over KDE 3.x as well.

Hmm, thank you for the information. But I don't like additional panels that much. I now made a clean install of openSuSE 11.0 and now only use KDE 4.1.3. (I know, only one month till 11.1 but there were some really annoying problems I wasn't able to fix)
The only thing I dislike is: Amarok 1.4.10 looks really shitty without styling, and Amarok 2.0 doesn't import my MySQL data (and it looks crappy, too).
Ah, and the fact that X.org now uses up to 400MB RAM. And I only activated some minor effects (but not Compiz, as this uses nearly the half power of one of my cores, as I only have an onBoard GPU).

I compile KDE4-SVN every week. The only thing I'm missing now is fake transparency in konsole. I dislike true transparency, because letters as a backgraound to letters are very annoying (Opera/Konqueror as konsole's background drives me crazy).
