KDE is the most advanced desktop I've used (that doesn't include vista's
'new' desktop).  The desktop that ships with OSX may come close to KDE
for features but it is styled to the point of annoyance both because the
UI and because the theme is inextricably welded onto the distro just
like windows.  Each major release of KDE3 has introduced many amazing
new features and all of that happened in the last 4 years, and KDE4
promises to be even more amazing, who cares what their schedule is.

The one great blight of KDE also happens to be related to its strengths
and that is that kcontrol is the most nested widget-laden application in
the history of the world.  I've actually spent hours scouring for the
one elusive checkbox only to find it days later after I had long given
up.  For simplicity of UI gconf-editor is much nicer even though it's
not the 'official' way to edit gconf-keys.
