I downloaded Opensuse 11.0 and decided to give KDE4 a go as my desktop 
environment.  Here are some things that I've observed in a couple weeks so far 
of using Opensuse 11.0

1.  Yast software package management seems to have sped up a lot.  This is a 
huge win.
2.  KDE4 is definitely different than KDE3.  Its taking some time to get used 
to put I do like the widget approach.
3.  There are still some bugs to tweak for sure.  For some reason USB hotplug 
is not verifiying some of my hardware i.e. digital camera.  I haven't figured 
out if thats Opensuse or KDE4's fault.  It worked on Opensuse 10.2 and KDE3.x
4.  System responses in KDE4 seem to be pretty quick.  

I would love to know anyone else's thoughts on KDE4.

As a reference I run a Athlon XP 1.5Ghz, 1GB RAM, VIA266 chipset, Geforce 5200 
128MB video card
