Ouch.  Sounds like we need a nice, long QA period for R14.0.

And I do take issue with some things he says, primarily on the usability
end.  He admits himself (at the end) that he found the KDE 3 GUI somewhat
hard to use, so I wouldn't worry too much about the KDE4/TDE comparisons
he makes regarding the interface.  I have always suspected that KDE4 is
geared towards salespersons, journalists, and people in non-technical
professions, and the article would seem to confirm this.  That's not a bad
thing, just more proof of the difference in type of user base between the
two desktops. :-)
