I'm an Ubuntu shell user, completely converted for a while now. I was
a Unity user since the 11.04 betas, through the 11.10 betas. I could
take up the "other side". Also, I don't think this is a zero-sum
argument. Also, this isn't a zero-sum game, and I think both are
benefiting from the other existing (I know shell development picked up
after Unity was announced, for example).

Any KDE users that we could poke for experiences on KDE's 4 migration?
Especially if you didn't like 4.0, but accepted the later releases as
development marched on?
