"Torvalds’ comment produced a flood of response across the web, including an apologia from leading KDE developer Aaron Seigo. And, as often happens in online discussions, both sides seem to have grabbed hold of part of the truth while ignoring the rest, with much of the distortion due to misrepresentations in the free software press. "Torvalds' comments came near the end of an article by Rodney Gedda for Computerworld. Asked how KDE 4 had affected him as a user, Torvalds replied by referring to his personal experience, as well as the fact that the KDE 4 series of releases is a major break from the previous version, and sometimes lacks backwards compatibility: ""I used to be a KDE user. I thought KDE 4.0 was such a disaster I switched to GNOME. I hate the fact that my right button doesn't do what I want it to do. But the whole "break everything" model is painful for users and they can choose to use something else. I realise the reason for the 4.0 release, but I think they did it badly. They did so many changes it was a half-baked release. It may turn out to be the right decision in the end and I will re-try KDE, but I suspect I'm not the only person they lost. I got the update through Fedora and there was a mismatch from KDE 3 to KDE 4.0. The desktop was not as functional and it was just a bad experience for me. I'll revisit it when I reinstall the next machine, which tends to be every six to eight months. The GNOME people are talking about doing major surgery so it could also go the other way. ""
