As a former KDE 2.2.1 user (in my Mandrake days) who thinks 
that KDE has it's strong points, I must ask: why use KDE?

It's really fat.  

I got tired of switching between konq and mozilla. konq failed 
on too many sites, so I had to use moz, and since it doesn't 
use kde libs, I had moz (also fat) + kde both loaded at the 
same time.  (Yes, konq is a great file manager, but I don't
use/need a file manager...)

Also, koffice just isn't there yet, so when using OpenOffice,
you have the same issues as when using mozilla

The only thing I really miss is kmail, but I scrape by with 
evolution...

In fact, since I use so little of the "desktop" metaphor, I'm
thinking of going to something simpler like blackbox or xfce.
