Just to boost developpers' confidence, I point to a KDE review by an OS X 
user who knows quite a lot about UI and usability:

I also point to a review of KDE by a well-known GNOME biased reviewer:
http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=5410

IMO she is wrong in many aspects but some of her suggestions are worth 
discussing. 

There is one point I don't see. So many are trolling about Keramik and the 
"cluttered" UI. I think this colourful theme appeals to most newbies; I 
watched many of those first-time Linux (usually Knoppix) encounters, with 
people dropping their jaws "whoa...". These people also like the multitude 
of buttons displayed which gives them a feeling about the application's 
capabilities. BTW, people in this country usually have a 1024x768 screen 
resolution, with which the toolbar icons of all the applications I used 
fit fine onto the screen.

There are a multitude of favourable KDE reviews out there, and their number 
is ever increasing. 

Keep up the good work!

Mark
