Its failed miserably.
By the way...  How can you use terms like "better" if you reject the
ability to compare?

Stepping into the fray...

If KDE 4 is to be "better" than KDE 3 then there has to be the ability to do
everything the previous version did in some fashion or another.

For example, we were previously stuck with having to type CAT or ls to get a
list of files in a folder.

Then a gui was developed and we were presented with a list of those files.

Later the gui was advanced and we were presented with a list of those files,
and an icon showing what those files should be able to do.



No, this is relevant because KDE 4 is not a replacement for KDE 3.

That is a bit of revisionist reporting.
KDE4 was ALWAYS intended as a replacement for KDE3.

Yeah, I would expect the 4.x version to be a direct replacement for the 3.x
version of anything.

If it isn't a replacement, then don't call it KDE 4. Call it YAGD (Yet
Another GUI Desktop) or something completely different.
