I think the biggest problem that kde4 will have to overcome is the stain on kde's reputation caused when a few major distros pushed kde4 out the door as a "New Desktop" when it was barely beta (kde 4.04 was released by SuSE as the desktop for 11.0 in June 2008) kde4.04 as a desktop -- gimme a break!
... which was caused by the KDE devs' bad decision to release it as 4.0, which set everyone's expectations that it was production-ready software. Had they labeled the whole 4.0 series (and possibly even the 4.1's) as beta software, that wouldn't have happened.
