I dont think the bottom line of that article, or the ones she wrote
before are unfavourable at all to KDE. Quite the contrary. I think
it gives people a "heads up!".

I agree with that point. But it is much more difficult to say something 
in front of an interviewing journalist (or on the phone) that you wouldnt
want to improve once you read your own words (or what they made of it)
than putting it into a perfect wording on first try.

The rule "think about 3 positive things you want to say and make sure you
put them across enthusiastically" is a good advice for all sorts of 
interviews, though.

Cheers,
Kurt
