It seems pretty straightforward to me. The name gives it away!
Perhaps KDE4 is targetted towards computer users who 4 years old!
Of course, on the other hand, KDE3 was designed for computer users 3 times
smarter than the usual computer user. 8-)
Another example of glitter over substance:
I remember the 1st time I tried out an early version of Knoppix. I was astounded
by the amount of software on the live cd. It was truly incredible. Absolutely
amazing. Later on I tried a newer version which had drivers for wide screens.
There was practically NO software on the cd, BUT the windows wobbled when you
moved them.
I consider myself to be fairly intelligent but to this day I have yet to figure
out why on earth somebody would want a window and its contents to wobble. It
was definitely targetting a 4 year old. I stopped being a 4 year old more than
50 years ago. (no doubt I will be back at that stage in another 20 years or
more) but for the moment I just want computer to WORK FOR ME. If I want the
world to wobble I will drink a few beers!
