KDE made a big point of saying "4.0 means we've frozen the api, so that the app developers can now work to a fixed target".
The fact that far too many people with a voice but no ears started screaming "4.0 - new - shiny - but where are the apps?" wasn't KDE's fault. Maybe they should have called it 3.99.

Otoh it was KDEs fault that they called an utterly broken piece of software that was crashing all the time "4.0". 4.0 suggests that it's ready to use, yet it was nowhere near.

Definitely.
