Unless I am mistaken, you have this all backwards. There is no dumbing
down of any programs, kde4 is a complete from scratch rewrite of kde
based on the new qt4. There is nothing to "dumb down" when you are
rewriting from scratch, just features you may not remember because you
didn't use it, or decisions that may have not had impetus or time to
implement. There was an effort to make a chart of missing features that
folks were wanting to see implemented, which sounded to me like
constructive help to the developers. The constant ranting and
complaining about kde4 would seem to be discouraging to the developers
and not constructive the way this community of users should be. They
work and we complain does not sound like a workable plan for program
development. IMHO it would be more profitable (and less noise on the
list) if we go back and try to list missing feature so that developers
have an idea of what folks need. IOW, try to give positive input to
make kde4 better. I believe that is the model Linux develops under.
