You won't see me using 4.0.0.

There are way too many showstopper (for me) bugs still present.  Plasma -- a 
central KDE4 component -- is still missing a lot of (for me) critical 
features.  KMail can't even get through my inbox without the ioslave 
crashing.  Konqueror has problems with websites I visit regularly.

I've isolated and filed bugs on a lot of these, but devs haven't gotten 
around to them yet.  That's perfectly fine -- I'm NOT complaining that 
nobody's worked on my pet bug.  (I have no room to complain when I barely 
have time to *file* bugs, let alone learn how to code for KDE so I can fix 
them.)  But from what I've seen so far I don't think 4.0.0 will be worthy 
of the name.

KDE4 is shaping up to be a fine piece of software.  But IMO there's still a 
long way to go before it could be called anything but alpha- or 
beta-quality.

Release quality?  No way.
