FWIW I did a clean install, including formatting /home, so there are no legacy 
files here.

4.3 now has fixes for almost everything that people complained about.  It 
still is fairly resource hungry, though.  There are two issues.  Some video 
cards don't play nicely.  This laptop has a 4-year-old ATi video card, and 
desktop effects are better switched off.  Also some people have sound 
problems, while others have no problem at all.  Again, my experience on this 
laptop is that PulseAudio does not work, so it simply warns me of this when I 
log in and drops back to the default alsa settings.  I have sound in 
everything, just not the ability to received more than one sound stream at 
once.  I do still use kde3 on CentOS on my server, and it now feels to lack so 
many things that I've come to rely on ;-), but 4 does do many things 
differently.
