Hmm.. gotta try again. I had to remove kde4 rc2 due to some conflicts with apt. There are some innovative features in KDE for sure and might be the answer to the more "eye-candy seeking" linux users too. On the more functional side, it seems to add some nifty features but sometimes the lack of proper documentation for some features on the site might be deterrent to some programmers to start developing on the new platform just yet. The best thing about KDE4 imo is that it can run on windows too [Thanks to qt4] so that people can ease up on the movement to linux and linux nerds won't miss their favorite apps if forced to use windows for development.
