That is one of many arguments, but I don't think it should be
the "first one" we should use. Why? Because it's a rather
technical approach. KDE3 was, from a technical perspective
superior to OS X and Vista, but it wouldn't caught the eye of
the targeted group, because it lacked the eye candy, the feeling
of a complete and accessible system. KDE4 is a much more
approachable product from this perspective and that's why we
need to focus on this points - look&feel, accessibility, ... - first.
