Nice post. Thanks for the article.
One question. Are you Groklaw, or just linking to (her, his, or their) article?
In other words, are you the one that wrote to KDE?
Nope, I'm just one of many ordinary KDE users. I just posted this because I too have seen many posts slating KDE4, instead of giving it a chance to flourish.

I've just seen why you asked that question:

There has been a bit of a dustup about KDE 4.0. A lot of opinions have been expressed, but I thought you might like to hear from KDE. So I wrote to them and asked if they'd be willing to explain their choices and answer the main complaints. They graciously agreed.
I took that excerp from the actual article.
