Well I guess that would be true, I find no new functionality that I care
about.

folderview, twitter, superkaramba I couldn't give a rats about, they
give me nothing I find useful, maybe when things like the weather
forcast widget recognises Australia I might find it useful.

the panel configuration, are you talking about that bit that pops uo
above the applications panel, that allows you to position the thing left
and right, no I don't see anything impressive there.

picture frames and sticky notes, what more clutter on my desktop.

what macos what x dashboard, what's a ZUI, 

multiple activities?, I can already do multiple activities on KDE
3.4.9.

the new device mounter, should be useful, but I sould also never notice
it.

regards

tracyanne

i suppose what you mean to say is that you can't find any new
functionality that you care about.

svg theming, scripting, folderview, widgets for things like twitter,
integrated superkaramba and macos x dashboard, the ZUI, multiple
activities, the new device mounter, the panel configuration, picture
frames and sticky notes and .. these are all things i find useful
myself.

we first concentrated on building a framework underneath, then
replicating the traditional components on top of it (to appease existing
users) and have spent the remaining time working on new things.

as we achieve feature parity with the traditional desktop experience,
you'll begin to see more and more of the new framework capabilities
emerge.

the fact that we have, with a few exceptions, reached feature parity of
kde3's kdesktop, run command dialog and kicker in ~1 year with a
from-scratch effort says a lot about the framework underneath it. in one
sense, i'm pretty proud that you look at it and go "so?" because it says
we've done a good job with making it possible for people used to 3.x
feel at home.

but its certainly not the only possible way of using plasma. many use it
radically different already, and we'll be bringing more possibilities to
the table as things grow.

so i'd like to humbly suggest that your attitude in this bug report has
been .. well ... deplorable. i've been patient to this point, and i'd
prefer to not have to continue exercising restraint in the face of such
blather.
