Words like "disgusting" are harsh, and I don't like to hear them in reference to the effort that the KDE devs have put into their work.
Having said that, there clearly have been teething problems with Akonadi. That's because it's a very new technology, and indeed a new idea that you won't find elsewhere. You could argue that they shouldn't have released the new version of Kontact so soon, but they simply had to. How else would the bug reports come in? There was the same problem with KDE 4.0; it was majorly buggy, but they had no choice.
Teething problems they must be T-Rex teeth then . I am not sure about the point they had no choice , I have to say i do not see it like that at all but each to their own
It's worth noting when I switched to the new Kontact (which relies on Akonadi), I did have a few rough days, but things have certainly settled down, and it's been pretty stable for me for months now. If you're having trouble with Kontact, I may be able to offer some suggestions for workarounds or fixes. It's mostly corner-cases that are causing issues now, I think.
I cant even get the new stuff to take my old data from KDE 4.6.5 (4.6.5) "release 7 .
