KDE 4.1 is pretty awesome, but there's just some nagging lack of refinements that bug me at parts. I've been spoiled by apple, even though i don't that they're that amazing interface looks wise.

I don't think OS X is any more polished than anything else. It looks polished because Apple users constantly tell themselves that it is perfect. When you tell yourself something all the time, it's easy to believe it's a fact.

But anyway, I gave up the whole desktop thing a year or so ago. Xmonad is the way to go. No stupidity to get in the way of work.

I just upgraded. Its pretty cool. I've been a KDE fan since i started using Linux and KDE 3.5 was really cool, but this is even better.

How do Gnome Apps look like on KDE 4.x? I really dig their improvements, but nearly all applications I use are GTK-based [Firefox, gVim, SqlBrowser]. Do they get the same window look/feel? Font settings? How well are they integrated into KDE desktop overall?

Yeah. KDE has a fairly unique approach in the Linux community, and I've liked what I've seen from them quite a lot.

I wonder if debian will unfreeze in order to get this in. I really hope so. I even think it's worth delaying the release for a month in order to do so.
