"Is the new Slackware still Slackware?"

Are you serious? Slackware has always shipped the latest stable versions of software unless there was/is a compelling reason not to.

Still running Slack 12.2 with KDE 3.5.10 here, since KDE 4 hasn't been all that stable and complete yet.

If you mean the Slackware that is known for solid stability as well as being fast, then YES! I've been a Slacker since 97' and have stayed with it to this date. Installation and configuration is still the same with a much improved KDE-4.4 desktop environment along with others to choose from.

Enjoy!

Kernel 2.6.33 and KDE SC 4.4.3, those are not really old. Kubuntu has older software.
