KDE4.0 was released very early and it was underdeveloped at the time, which

over time, and today it is arguably better than KDE3.5 has ever been.

There were no mistakes in design? That's all well and good but people
can't use a product that isn't there yet. I honestly don't understand
why there's a trend to drop an older version of a product, release a
next generation version which does *less* than the older version. And
they wonder why people bitch about it?

In contrast, Gnome3 introduced some stuff (that most people here dislike) as a
*design* *decision*, and they have no intention of changing it --- which is
not something that is going to change so easily over time. I really wonder if
anyone will ever persuade the Gnome3 devs to put back the Shutdown button
where it belongs. ;-)

Or why I have to press Alt + RMB to pop up a menu on a panel in Gnome?
Seriously, WTF?
