To make an analogy:

KDE 4 is a house whose main structure is now standing, which is livable, but which still needs a lot of finishing touches to make it into the fantastic house it will eventually be.

KDE 3 on the other hand is a house with a lesser (though still very nice) structure, but that has been lived in long enough to have reached it's full potential with all of the rough edges smoothed over

In Free Software the mantra is "release early, release often"

KDE4 is now at a point where:
- the basic frameworks are in place
- what's there works well enough for daily use

So releasing now is IMHO a Good Thing

Do you need help?

But yes, as it stands KDE3 is still the more comfortable house

=> if you expect KDE4 to mach the comfort of KDE3 it's to early to switch, => if you're content with works but needs refinement, and are willing to

   help (even if only by helping to find bugs and reporting them) now is a    good time to switch.
