Goodbye KDE. Its been nice knowing you.
Ever since I started using Linux I have been a KDE advocate. If you have ever read any of my previous posts you will find that they are all slanted towards KDE. Even though I have experimented with different window managers I always seemed to slide back home to KDE territory. Not any more. Note: I am not talking about KDE programs in general. I am talking about the actual KDE window manager.
KDE started going sour for me when they brought out the dolphin file manager. Suddenly things were automatically defaulting to dolphin and I hated dolphin. Then the hype about KDE4 started. It seemed cool. It was looking good. So I tried out the beta version. For a beta version it had a lot of things missing. I decided to wait and see.
Then KDE4 was released, Debian Sid and Kubuntu Jaunty started using KDE4 as the default. I tried using KDE4 I really did.
