But now I think you are not exactly a critic but a very "bad-lucked" guy, :-/.

Good one.
I don't share any of the OP's issues either. (Well, I neither use
konqueror nor kmail. And I certainly don't to keep half a dozen tabs
open while logging off. My single KDE sessions run for ~ a week. and I
prefer to start with a fresh clean desktop at KDE log on)
But I do share the general feeling of "things should / could have been
much better in the KDE land." And I most certainly miss the "crispy,
snappy" feeling of KDE 3.5. In good old days, Konqueror used to fire
up at the blink of an eye. Now, it takes almost 3-4 secs to display
that flashy "blue screen of konqueror introduction." I can see the svg
background drawing slowly.. Yeah its easy to blame it on nvidia / amd
/ intel (for laptops) (so whom are we left with?) ;)
As someone mentioned, of late I think, sidux has done a decent job in
taming the unruly Sid with KDE. I think it is safe to say that my
patience with KDE can be attributed to a large extent to sidux.
