That was a bad time for KDE. They pushed 4 out with a lot of fanfare and it turned out that GUI wise it was a bad windows vista clone that broke every great established KDE 3.5 application.
Definite enshitification. They took something great and replaced it with a craptastic DE that didn't reach feature parity for a decade!
I bailed for XFCE at the time, never gone back to KDE, wouldn't trust them to not do the same thing again.
