KDE 4 is okay now.  The early (and IMO very justified) complaints
about KDE 4 had a lot to do with it being provided in distributions
before it had reached a similar level of maturity as what it was
meant to replace (KDE 3.5).

I just updated to Kubuntu 9.10 earlier this week and I'm very
pleased with it.  It has added about 20-25% to my laptop battery life,
many of the drivers are much more solid, and KDE 4 itself has 
improved a _lot_ since 8.10.  (KDE 4 in 8.10 was truly truly awful.)
