The problem with KDE is that the devs don't seem to give a crap about their users. Just look at the list of most hated bugs, most often reported and most wanted features and you can clearly see that almost all of them aren't major showstoppers but all add up to make KDE look like an unpolished and buggy mess. Most are all small things that tarnish what could otherwise be a very complete and capable DE.
@Maxim Levitsky I use linux because it is way more capable than windows. On windows you need to go out and find a program for everything because the OS by itself is useless. I also like the security and the ability to open almost all files and access almost all filesystems out there. Just the other day I downloaded a few SPC files (those are SPC700 sound files, commonly known as SNES music files) and of course in windows (on my cousin's PC) it was necessary to find a program that would read them. On Ubuntu? They worked out of the box on Totem. Also, most linux file managers are eons ahead of what can be found on Windows and MacOS. Dolphin in particular is the best file manager I've ever used.Last edited by devius; 09 October 2011, 05:15 PM.

I rather use a DE that is user friendly that DE that is bug free and forces things on me.
To draw a parallel, Well windows has even less bugs that Gnome, and if you really want to its possible to shield yourself from most of its shortcomings (e.g most Linux programs have windows versions), yet we don't use it, because we want something free, really free. Gnome is free, but the attitude of developers and general inability to maintain fork of this scale, means that its GPL source is of little value.
(Speaks a user that used Gnome for 4 years, but now really became sick of its developers attitude)
In summary, I rather have bugs that I can fix, than features that I can't fix unless I fork major parts of the source, and have 0 chance anybody will use them due to install complexity.Last edited by Maxim Levitsky; 09 October 2011, 04:52 PM.

We see this because KDE is more of a framework rather then just a desktop environment. It's flexible enough to be optimized for tablets , pc's , netbooks , phones , pretty much what ever form factor you feel like. KDE right now is by far the most advanced framework available for Linux. Not to mention Qt is better then Gtk. It just is. You know it I know it.

MS, which seems to do same mistake will pay for it too, and I bet first thing most w8 users will do is to get metro out of their way.
