Wow, I had no idea about any of that. While I doubt I'll be switching 
(still don't like GTK or Nautilus, and happy enough with KDE), but now 
I'm curious to take another look, see how it's come along.

Well that's good to hear. KDE4 went through the same path. After 
spending time with KDE4, I found it to be it a terrible blunder of an 
upgrade even after, several point releases in, people were saying it had 
finally been fixed. It still has some warts that annoy me (and some 
things I just gave in on), but it's finally won me back from my hiatus 
with XFCE/LXDE. Looking forward to v5 stabilizing further.
