I actually didn't say that. I said I know the KDE founders. (I also
met the guy who started K3B but that's besides the point ;-))

Yes there are people unhappy with KDE 4 still (and maybe will
forever). The KDE team is aware of that and is trying to accommodate
them where it makes sense and is possible. But I am quite confident
that it is a lot less than you think.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_consensus_effect is worth a read.
