There was that, but if only that, it wouldn't have blown up like it did. They intentionally released it early so they could get more people testing it. They didn't label it as a test, and when called out, they had an unpleasant attitude about ungrateful users. There was also a (perceived) push to kill off KDE 3. For most of us, it wasn't important enough to get involved in a drama, so we went elsewhere and lived happily ever after.
- Takennickname 3y agoDunno what you mean by moved elsewhere and lived happily ever after. Gnome was going through its gnome 2 to gnome 3 nonsense at the same time
- bachmeier 3y agoMaybe I should have said "moved elsewhere and didn't spend additional energy thinking about KDE 4". Some went to distros with plans to continue supporting KDE 3, some went to XFCE, and some (not me) even thought Gnome 3 was nice. Recall as well that Gnome 2 was still around and supported, and then Mate kept it going. That's what I'm using as I type this. Edit: BTW, the Trinity DE is still active, so you can still use KDE 3.
