Just please don't make it as messy as the transition to KDE 4.0. Just as KDE 4.1 should have been 4.0, GNOME 2.30 should not be 3.0 unless its ready and stable. Make it 2.32 or 2.34 if you have to, just don't rush it.
KDE4 is a complete rewrite. Version 4.0 was released because the API was frozen, making it possible for application developers to actually make and release KDE4 apps. AFAIK 4.0 was never even intended for general desktop usage.

I'll get excited when I can scroll a page of text in gedit faster than 3fps.

Err, how is this different from the current development plan with a slight change in direction (and not method of travel)?

that tab thing was a joke. Tabs are very useful for file managers. I heard nautilus developers are working on adding tab feature to it.
