Which users' opinion ? KDE developers are KDE users, so their opinion
count. Moreover most functionality has been preserved going from KDE3
to KDE4, and KDE4 could be extended to enable KDE3's old but readable
look. I'm actually surprised nobody did a KDE3-like Plasma theme.
In the meantime, many people including myself find that KDE4 is a great
desktop, at least when it doesn't crash (and it never does on my
machine on which I use it) and once the insane defaults are changed.


In a normal company, users come first.

In open source, we all pretend users come first.

Remember nobody gets paid to develop trinity. What it boils down to is "itching your own scratch". Say Darrell is having troubles with kate, or wants to implement something new with kate. Then he is likely to do it. He is not likely to develop a plasma interface because he doesn't care about it.

Thats how I see it at least.
