I got used to Plasma very quickly.

Well, many users here complained to me about the menu layout in KDE4.  But I 
have never felt it confusing.

Some good applications in KDE3 were not ported to KDE4 successfully, like juk 
(will this be in KDE 4.5?), and another good web page editor (I forgot its 
name!  Because I couldn't use it after upgrading to KDE 4.1.  It's been a long 
time...)

As a long time user of KDE (from KDE 3.2), I fall in love with KDE4 right 
after KDE 4.1 was released.  However, since KDE 4.4, I suffer from the KDE-pim 
packages.

* akonadi was quite a confusing service.  I need to install a lot of packages 
to make it running, or my KMail would not be able to be launched at startup.  
Even I installed them all, akonadi sometimes still refused to startup.
* And so far, I still can't understand the whole framework of akonadi, or say, 
kdepim, and what's the advantages to use akonadi.  Of course I read some 
documents on wiki.
* new akonadi made my kaddressbook gone.  I can not create a new "resource" of 
addressbook.
