There's just a lot of stuff missing. Some of it is missing
on purpose,
replaced with something more elegant, but most of it simply
hasn't been
converted to work with KDE 4 yet. The KDE developers
realized that they
had reached the point where the only way to get people off
their asses
and convert their apps was to release KDE 4 and deprecate
KDE 3. By
adopting KDE 4 as soon as feasible after its release, we're
exposing
ourselves to some growing pains, but the payoff is that the
transition
will be quick and focused, rather than languishing for
years.
When I first saw KDE 4, I was a bit miffed at how much was
missing, but
it's come a very long way in just a few months. Peering
under the hood
a bit, I'm convinced of the KDE developers' claim that the
overhaul to
the codebase will make it easier to maintain and extend in
the future.
Given the rate of development, it's quite easy for minor
features to be
overlooked, so if something's missing or broken, please file
a bug.
