    Well, Debian is actually a smart distro and still keeps kde 3.5 as the stable version of kde. this is because kde 4.0-3 has been horrific and unusable for just about anyone. Having said that, debian does try to provide the best vanilla kde experience possible and if you run kde 4 from testing or unstable (sid). Even still, I will try out 4.4 and cross my fingers, just because I used to be a kde fanboy.

    While things are different

    Different? Let's call it what it is: buggy. A music player for which you can't edit play lists once defined. A terminal emulator which opens in new and creatively different sizes each time you invoke it. Same terminal emulator which likes to append random number of spaces to copy-pasted lines. WTF?
