I know at the recent kde versions have less bugs such as memory leak. And
they are more usable as the older versions.
I used suse that use kde as default DE under many years, but I really
prefer gentoo now.
And I call an undocumented feature a bug. Example: the MIDI wrapper
configuration in kde control panel. What the f. is this? You have to
search in kmid files to find the answer!!! How a newbie can know that and
find the answer???!!!
I prefer to run kde and gnome applications on fvwm-crystal, because with
fvwm, i just can do whatever I want to do, when with other wm-de as gnome
and kde, I can only do, exactly as with window$, what they are thinking
at I want to do. And it is a huge difference between those 2 ways of
making things.
That said, kde is an outstanding wm for a linux newbie, much better as
window$.
