HN discussionNot really. Take a look at this blog post written right before the 4.0 release by kdesktop's maintainer who founded Plasma: http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2008/01/talking-bluntly.html To quote: KDE 4.0.0 is our "will eat your children" release of KDE4, not the next release of KDE 3.5.

HN discussionRight. Not in the announcement. But it was communicated with the community what KDE 4.0 was about [0] Obviously there were mistakes made. But the fact that KDE 4.0 was not ready for every day use _was_, in fact, communicated with distro's. [0] http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2008/01/talking-bluntly.html

HN discussionThey started migrating several releases before 4.10, maybe that's why. To sum it up, I'll paste this: "In short, QML makes it very easy to write fluid user interfaces, while retaining speed. The advantages expand well beyond the mobile application sphere, and represent a new way to do GUIs." http://jontheechidna.wordpress.com/2012/05/19/my-thoughts-on...

HN discussionCompetition with what? Windows, OS X? Xorg? Edit: Can't seem to reply to child, but Mir isn't really a credible competitor (See: http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2014/03/more-on-why-display-serve... . Unfortunately Mir seems to be mostly NIH; everyone else is cooperating on Wayland.)
