I have Mepis set up on a netbook and KDE4 is quite tolerable. it does
not get in the way and I never think 'plasmoid'.
I also hear that there is a KDE3 update someone has made for OpenSuse.
it will be hard to kill KDE3 though the impression I am getting is
that KDE4 is 'evolving' ('revolving'?) in the direction of KDE3.
a further observation about Mepis: it seems some settings cannot be
changed from the gui interface, for instance, mouse and touchpad
control. it seems one has to grapple with the commandline for that.
don't know if this is a gap in my setup or part of the KDE4
philosophy.

Hempstone's Question:
If you have to travel on the Titanic, why not go first class?
:-( I have just decided that as I can't have
Trinity on a fresh install for
the moment, I should look at KDE 4. After all, perhaps I shouldn't condemn
something out of hand and permanently. Fortunately it is in a VM and easily
removeable. I shall just get rid of the whole VM and start again. It is
GHASTLY. Far worse than I remembered. So, pending the reopening of the
mirrors, I shall have a look at Lubuntu.
May I suggest you give a look to Mepis? It's not only KDE 4, it's the
implementation thereof, and Waren has chosen very sensible settings
that make his implementation fairly good - not as good as Trinity, but
a good second best at the time, IMHO.
