    The best thing ever :) Watch KDE become the most impressive open source GUI... perhaps even the most impressive GUI full stop! :)

    Well i liked it & used it for a year and half BUT i believe GNOME is more stable & productive (@ least i am.) .
    Next version to try will be KDE 5 :D.

    KDE 4.3 is the most innovative DE. Kudos for finally trying to change the concept of "the desktop" that has been around since the Apple Lisa.

    Ugh, I installed a KDE app and now OO won't get off the KDE theme. Horrible, horrible desktop environment in my opinion, too W95'y for my liking - I'll take my Darkbox GNOME anyday.

    KDE 4 is great. I hope they add more features in the future, apart from that 5* .

    Great desktop environment, in my opinion the most polished of all desktop environments. Polished by looks and effects, but also because of the big amount of KDE-programs available. There is an app that fits in the desktop for every task.
    The widgets on the desktop are a nice feature, which other desktop environments don't have.

    Annoing point of KDE: its customizability. If you like the standard looks (like I do), it's perfect. But if you don't like the big, bold and toyish look, it is not so easy to change that everywhere. It is only possible to make small modifications, like a different window manager theme.
    So it's a bit like OS X: love the standard look of it, or don't like it at all.
