Well we can talk about dolphin, yes, it's way better than d3lphin! But it still is not that konqueror 3.5.x feeling. And that Suse menu is just horrible - IMHO. Talking about "moddable": I wish I just could use good old pngs to skin the panel... IMHO they made it a lot more complicated for the avarage user to adjust the look because those svg files contain more than one skin piece, reminds me of xmms- or Gnome themes. And AFAIK there is no way to mimic 3.5, at least not until now: I don't have files and real links on my desktop (no, that plasma box does not count), icons still have ugly frames, old style menu doesn't feel like 3.5 menu, I don't have the option to create an own desktop menu for the middle mouse button, middle mouse button actions (the big advantage over MS OS) seem to have vanished completely.
By now I still have the feeling of "Take the worst from Gnome, take the worst from Vista - et voilà: KDE 4 with Plasma". Yes I know it's still under heavy development and I stay curious. But I really hope they will add a real "classic 3.5" mode for the desktop (including pseudo transparency for the panel for systems without 3d cards).
To say something positive: I love the way you can resize the panel now. |

No - copy/paste still works. But for me that's not a KDE thing. I mean actions like moving icons on the panel or middle mouse button menus. The KDE devs seem to completely have forgotten that there exists a middle mouse button which you can use for a lot of things... But the middle mouse button suddenly seems to be "bad", as seem to be context menus. Looks like they want to put as much action as possible to the left mouse button, even if that is more complicated or takes longer  |
