[snip rant about some kde apps requiring mysql server]
There seems to be too much windoze thinking entering Debian: Hide
everything from the users, take control of their computers away from
them, make things unfixable --- and the next step is to provide them
with only crappy software. I'm beginning to become more and more
unhappy with Debian. The quality has gone down quite a bit already. If
they keep going this way, we'll all be using windoze in about 10
years.
I won't comment on your rant, but you are directing it to the wrong
people. Debian ships KDE, but it was not Debian who introduced these
changes, but rather the KDE developers instead.
Seriously.
It's KDE that sucks.
Use Openbox, Fluxbox, LXDE, Ion3, xmonad, jmw, dwm, awm, fvwm,
Xfce...some other wm with less bloat and eyecandy.

+1. I use Openbox and before I bogged it down with a load of custom
themes, login scripts etc I had an instant login. I typed my username
and password and I was ready to go. That's on the same machine that took
3 - 5 minutes to login when I had KDE4 installed.
Yeah, I dig openbox.
It is set as my default wm, but lately I've also been experimenting with
Ion3, dwm, xmonad. I like dwm and xmonad, but java swing guis don't
render properly, which I need for work.
Ion3 isn't bad.
