Here are other examples of braindeadness in KDE4: http://lwn.net/Articles/466857/ And that's just in KDE desktop. I have scores more of examples in other applications (like Amarok) or Krita.
It seems that KDE developers have actually given up on doing anything useful. From my point of view, many man-years were spent on intrusive technology that actually has no positive impact while other 'boring' parts of the system were being neglected.
We still don't have a single 'killer case' for the whole Semantic Desktop initiative. Right now it just provides file search functionality and eats quite a bit of RAM.

Ok, so I will bite. What is, according to you, braindead in Krita 2.x compared to 1.x?

And? Can you by now tell me why I've given up doing anything useful and what's so braindead in Krita compared to 1.x?

Nothing? So much for "scores of examples". Calling people's work "braindead" is neither polite nor respectful, "Cyberax". Claiming to have scores of examples but not providing them is not informative.
In the meantime, yes, I know that we've got about a hundred known bugs, which we are trying to fix. But I also know that professional artists use Krita to earn their living with.
