I temporarily switched over to KDE. I was using it until 4.0 came along and then learned the hard way when to duck for cover..
But the nice thing about Ubuntu is that they are slow to get on a bandwagon. There is a Firefox 4.0 out but they are still giving people 3.6.16. I put 4.0 in a Windows system last night and none of my son's favorite add ons had upgraded, yet. Open office 3.0 was out for over six months before Ubuntu put it in their distro. Let the slackware and Debian people polish it on their weekends. The Ubuntu people want something that is ready to go, now. KDE 4.6 is still kind of buggy. Things don't crash in it like they used to but i had to put Synaptic in it to see if I had a full install. The package manager is not user friendly and you can't quickly see what options you have available with it. It took three tries to get Microsoft core fonts installed because you have to accept an agreement and I don't think that the package manager in KDE can handle that. It just fails to install.
