so let's set the record straight, once again: we do care for our existing users, then and now.
The evidence, Aaron, is the early KDE 4.n releases. They were horrible in EVERY way and they were pushed down users throats.
*Some distributors* pushed KDE 4.few down users' throats. RHEL 5 and its clones use KDE 3.5.4, and are still supported. Debian made no stable release with KDE4 versions prior than 4.4, and 3.5.9-containing Lenny was supported until last month. Slackware stills provides some security patches for Slackware 8.1, which is old enough to have been released KDE 3.0.
Recent KDE 4.n are incremental improvements but KDE 4 is a different product than KDE 3.5. It is aimed at different users who work in different ways. I actually don't know anyone who claims to be productive in KDE 4 but I believe reports that such users exist.
Count me on them, I feel like I'm more productive with KDE4 than everything else (but not by a wide margin compared to KDE3/Trinity). I'm happy as long as I have the very extensive support KDE has for keyboard shortcuts.
You've lost the KDE 3.5 users. Go enjoy your new users. Go enjoy your life. We are very much enjoying TDE.
