Open Source but no Open Mind
I've been an Open Source user and advocate for years. When I started using Linux, KDE was the desktop that I discovered, as it was the default desktop for Suse. I quickly learned to appreciate KDE 3.3 and I have upgraded my KDE desktop up until release 3.5.10.
When KDE4 was first released, I was really curious and installed it. But it was a great deception. The so-called old KDE 3.5.10 was way better than KDE 4.0, and that pissed me off. Was every new release not meant to be even par or even better than its predecessor?
When KDE 4.1 was released it was still not what I expected and I did the unthinkable. I turned to Gnome and my laptop ran Ubuntu for quite a while.
I tried every follow-up release of KDE 4 and dumped it. It was not the KDE which I had in mind. I found it not so stable, rather complex with a lot of new concepts and programs. To make a long story short, I developed an aversion for KDE4.
