No, seriously. It's both rather useful for me and also a huge "hey look at how cool and sci-fi linux is" for me to show to my non-linux using friends. I disagree about kicker, though; it's better but it's far from fixed in terms of features. That it's a bit unintuitive isn't the problem; the options just simply don't work on my dual-monitor (twinview) setup for moving it around, whereas when I switch things around in KDE3 it both works AND does so with just some click-dragging instead of selections in a menu. That issue is singlehandedly stopping me from using KDE4 full time, to be entirely honest. That being said I'm neither bitter nor impatient.

Everything else that's missing I can work around. I hope proxy support is considered a blocker for 4.1 in Lenny. Everything else that’s missing I can work around.

Click the cashew that's on the panel and it brings up the dialog to change the height, change the width, and set limits for an adaptable width. It's not intuitive (at least not on my last-week's-build), but the functionality is there. And extragear-plasma doesn't exist any more. check out trunk/KDE/kdeplasmoids (where they all moved to).
