The big problem for me is SPEED. I think we here know
very subjectively the
KDE3.5 flies and KDE4 seems to crawl. There was a very interesting discussion
by Zack Rusin on QT drawing performance:

Solving this problem in a network aware and hardware accelerated way on all
cards, will make a massive difference to KDE4 perception.
Did you read the followup post to that? It looks like the difference
is not as big as it seems, and it has many drawbacks.

For me Plasmoids are not vastly useful. I prefer apps
in windows to apps on
desktops.
I agree!
To be honest I think if Kicker was ported to KDE4 then
a lot of
people might be won over. Or a Plasma-lite option.
This was discussed, but nobody came forward to do it. Therefore the
community has resorted to filing feature requests on Plasma for
kicker-like functions.
