Some days ago I ran the updates for my Don't Panic install, which said that KDE 3.5.9 was being upgraded to KDE4. I let this go ahead having asked on the list if there were likely to be any problems with KDE4.
I also have recently installed Fedora 9 which comes with KDE4 as default, so this is not a pop at Archlinux, but more with KDE4, which I'm finding is virtually unuseable. I'm posting this from Fedora Core 2, which has KDE 3.2.2-14.FC2.2.legacy Red Hat, and apart from the odd konqueror crash when accessing certain web sites, there are no problems. KDE4 is a whole different ball game.
I hear a lot of this, but never any specifics.
And a search for KDE or even KDE4 on the bug tracker doesn't bring many bugs up. Not ideal search terms given the amount of apps, but you'd expect more than 10 results for something "virtually unusable"
So maybe it'd be a good idea to file bugs about this "virtually unusable" DE.
Or pull the old PKGBUILDs from SVN and create your own repo housing the old KDE packages.
