A couple of weeks ago I compiled KDE 4.1.2 for NimbleX because I have to know if the switch should be made. The plain and simple answer is: not switching now. Eventually I think the switch will be made but as far as I am concerned KDE 4.1.2 is not there yet.

3 major things I didn't like about KDE 4.1.2:

• It uses a lot more resorces than KDE 3.5
• It is less user friendly than KDE 3.5
• It has more bugs than KDE 3.5

I will not get into details with issues that might be subjective regarding what I like and what I don't because everybody has it's own perspective on this things and it's own style.

There weren't major problems while testing KDE 4.1.2 with NimbleX but considering that it's less usable and slower than KDE 3.5 it will not be in NimbleX soon. There is an interesting potential to it. As far as they say KDE 4.2 will have some significant improvements and will be released in January so I guess we'll see then what's what.
