- The Distros
- The Graphics Drivers
- D-Bus
- GStreamer

You can fill in the rest, just remember it's never the fault of KDE!

It was clearly stated in the release notes that 4.0 was not meant for end users, only for developers and early testers. If you are not a developer, why have you installed it? Some distros picked it, but is it really the fault of KDE, they have stated clearly, that this is not a finished product.

Have you got a link to the release notes you talk about?

In the end though you use whatever works best for you. I like KDE. It has some features that I find really make my life easier.
Yes there were some fuck ups with KDE4 and yes some of those are the KDE developers fault. There are also plenty of people upset because their favourite KDE3 features aren't in KDE4 or just don't like it because it's new and fangled and works differently in places.

I liked KDE3 somewhat because of the harware requirements, but with todays hadware it's pure bliss. I actually bounced around with WMs and DEs, but since KDE4 everything is just perfect.
There are some roadsigns here and there that say "under construction", but nothing you can't work around. This is basically true for the entire GNU/Linux combination.
I'd rather keep using SC 4.4 untill an upgrade would work with the FLOSS driver. But you can simply work around this particular problem too, so who in the hell actualy cares? Gamers? Yeah like they won't use the blob anyway...
