I guess that view is a bit too extreme, but interesting nevertheless.
As annoying as the "typical" KDE-issues might be or get, there will be
a point where users know the issues and can adapt to the "buggy"
situation, so that KDE is not a general "show stopper" to their
workflow. For example with the KSysGuard-thing mentioned earlier, one
just has to restart KSysGuard to get a reliable depiction what
processes currently run or simply not use it at all.

Used to it? That is most unlikely. I could tolerate such issues for
some time but I guess I could never "adapt" to a point where I would
not even realize the issues anymore.

Do you think the KDE developers are happy with that "state"? And "beta"
implies "bugfixing follows". If bugs don't get addressed, they could
dump the code as public domain and be done with it. So I really hope
the situation is just at a very bad point but it will get better, even
if it takes years, I am in no hurry. :)

optimistic regards
