I don't know why you left KDE 3.5 when 4.0 came out -- the software wasn't broken and your workflow didn't need fixing. You probably want to be honest about your intentions, and not blame a developer release getting in the way of your work when what got in the way of your work was you wanting to play with a new toy. Whichever version you tried, 4.0 didn't get in the way of my work and has steadily improved over the last 3+ years.

probably the reason he switched to KDE 4.0 is that the distro he was using made the mistake of switching, and he was forced to choose between not upgrading the distro or switching to 4.0
I don't know of any distro (other than probably gentoo) that offered the option to use either 3.5 or 4.0

openSUSE offered both until 4.3 was released and found to be good enough to not warrant the doubled maintenance effort anymore.
Seems like openSUSE is an often overlooked but all in all very nice distribution.

Mandriva did the same, 3.5 alternative was only dropped when 4.3 came.
