I personally think Kubuntu has done more harm than good to the KDE project since switching to KDE 4. My biggest gripe is Amarok 2. It is simply not ready and is missing key functionality like being able to manage my iPod. You have to add a 3rd party source to apt or build from scratch in order to get Amarok 1.4 which is pretty fantastic.
By shipping an incomplete 4.x they give an inaccurate picture of the state of things. Since I am not leaving the Ubuntu or Debian world anytime soon, I am back to Gnome. Of course I could never live without some of my favourite kde apps (konsole, konversation, yakuake, konqueror, krusader, and okular are the most important to me). <snip> > So when you make the quantum leap, make sure your .kde folder is backed up, > and your file manager is ready to move some files over :-) This is always a good idea. We all backup the important stuff right?
