It's ALPHA 1, not beta. Rick

The last time KDE had a new default style was KDE 2.0. It came out in October 23, 2000.
Anyways, keramik is not exactly the default style. It's just one of the options that comes upon running kpersonalizer, which is run automatically when the user runs KDE for the first time.
Your math isn't exactly adding up.

I don't like keramik either, but I support giving the user the right to chose whatever they want. Besides, keramik reminds me more of Mozilla's old modern theme than Aqua, anyways.
How about Eclipse?
The Java suppor is mature; the C/C++ tools are due for a release by the end of the month; and a Cobol tools project just got underway. "Unofficial" tools projects include Python, C#, AspectJ, Eiffel, Ruby, and others

Well, Gideon/KDevelop3 is one big bugfix, in a sense, since it's a full rewrite with a much cleaner architecture. So old bugs really don't apply to it.
Really, I'm not trying to flame, but this is Open Source, and I will repeat the thing that has been said several times: We do this in our spare time. Please don't complain about what we do in our spare time.
This isn't to say that you can't get the bug fixed.
Report it!: (Too many people don't realize that reporting bugs is important and valued!)
Fix it yourself: Hey, that's what this is all about! This is the developers section, and a thread about a development tool. You've got the source, go for it!
Pay someone to fix it: Seriously. Everyone thinks this a catch all, but many of the KDE developers, myself included would be willing to fix bugs for a modest price. Put EUR/$ 50 behind your request, and it's likely to happen! Hell, send a 6 pack of beer and you're likely to have a new friend.
I'm just trying to put this in perspective. The KDE devopers specifically, and most OSS developers in general do this for fun in their spare time. And here's another little secret: there aren't many of us. I would guess that 90% of the Open Source software that currently being worked on is developed by less than 500 people (That's just developers; there are a lot of wonderful translators and documentors out there too.).
We really try to produce great software, and in fact I think we succeed, but if you care about the stuff, please, help out! Donate something: time, money, hardware, whatever. It will be infinitely more appreciated and fruitful than complaining on Slashdot.
