KDE 3.5 had everything a 2D desktop could possibly offer. But when KDE 4.0 went to a 3D widget based system it had to start all over from scratch. Even now, KDE 4.1.4 is still in the alpha stage if you were to compare it to KDE 3.5.10. There are some good ideas in there, but for those who are used to the things you get in 3.5 it is still subpar.
I still like KDE applications, so I stick with KDE because of that. But the loss of Torvalds' endorsement could increase Gnome's momentum, which has been increasing as of late. So KDE had better get their ship in order pretty quickly.
