IMHO, KDE4-release was underwhelming and shouldn't have been released
until it reached feature a parity with KDE 3.5.x.
IMO, bugs and crashes can be forgiven - but not having an option to set
the order of applets on a panel (only added in 4.0.3?) or change the
appearance of the panel was inexcusable.

Having said all that, the development of KDE 4.1 is showing great
promise and unless something bad happens, it should be a viable KDE
3.5.x replacement.

As for me, I'm sticking with F8/3.5.9 (and CentOS5/3.5.9) - while
keeping a close eye on Rawhide/4.1. Once it 4.1 hits F9, I'll make the
switch.
