I don't know the current state of KDE4, but some time ago I used an older
KDE4, not for audio and it was ok. I don't like the design, but the
workflow is ok and it had no performance issues.

I want some clear words about break outs in new directions from the
distros.

E.g. on Arch it makes me wonder that people using X, need to pull in
Wayland. This is like installing init and getting systemd as a dependency.
I can live with systemd and perhaps I can live with Wayland, but I won't
unclear transitions, that cause issues.

For Ubuntu I guess the direction is clear, they will build a distro with
shops, unusable DEs, similar to tablet PC stuff. The users are free to
remove Unity and to install another DE, but the DE then will be buggy. My
MUA for Quantal already doesn't work anymore.

Debian Sid might be ok, I just have no good feelings regarding to the
state "unstable".
