*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

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.
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.
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.
