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.
