I think it's quite pathetic.

Not comparable. KDE3 had most of features that users actually want.

Now you are just being grumpy. Come over to KDE and taste the kool-aid ;)

I'm grumpy about it. A beautiful desktop stagnated. About the nicest thing I have heard about KDE since I left around 4.4 is that it is now good enough that people barely miss KDE 3.

As for the kool-aid, I know the story of Jonestown. ;-). More honestly, I think after feeling disappointed repeatedly many of us just aren't willing to take the time to look at KDE anymore. Maybe if kasbar was back I'd sneak a peak, but without that killer feature? No thanks.
