I agree with devius but RealNC's post shows there's concerns that aren't dealt with.
For me, it's the concept of ignoring bug concerns and this idea of 'newer features' or more superficial developments but bugs, nuisances, annoyances, even if minor, remain and persist.
I considered myself a major KDE fan compared to using Gnome, for e.g., but too many annoyances and this perceived disregard for them is very telling. It's like fixing the bugs or issues is too boring for them and with the lack of manpower, no one wants to do the 'less interesting' work.
Anyway, KDE is now a complete failure, imho.
Even minor issues will bother me. I cannot sync up the time with any of the Servers. I receive errors that don't indicate anything resembling a useful explanation to the user. The notifications that are on via default are useless since there's no added feature to list what these are. LMDE, at least, added the feature themselves. I don't if any other distros do but straight Debian with KDE doesn't. Sure, these are minor to you, probably, but since it's apparent there's many more, it will eventually add up to a frustrating experience.
The other pet peeve I have with KDE is the kickoff menu. I have yet to come across anyone that prefers this to the classic menu. I was told that using the classic menu will include some sort of performance or feature impact but I don't know the details. Point is, since KDE 4, there is way too many 'so-called enhancements' to the detriment and sacrifice of overall effectiveness of the DE experience as a whole.
