As being waiting 4.6 to arrive in the official debian repositories, I became pretty curious and tried it in Ubuntu (Installed Ubuntu first, then installed kubuntu-desktop and kde-full).
As I have seen many Ubuntu KDE users' comments in the forums, I thought of giving it a try, even though my presumption is Kubuntu messes up KDE.
As I am using debian wheezy, I am still in kdevelop 4.0.1. I did not know how to get all phpunit related stuff working in kdevelop. $this->assertions are not popped up by auto-completion. All phpunit related functions are underlined in wavy red. I don't mind it much and keep on using kdevelop 4.0.1. So, my very first try, after installing, was kdevelop 4.2.
Meanwhile, I got a solution for the above from Milian. He says, we can workaround by simply creating a symlink for PHPUnit under the project directory. I jump started by creating the symlink and opening a php project. kdevelop 4.2 in Ubuntu scanned and indexed the project pretty quickly, but alas after reaching 100% of scanning it throws an exception and exits. I tried it multiple times, it is repeatable. I tried the same in debian with kdevelop 4.0.1. It took more time for indexing and scanning, but it did not break. (Although the wavy underlines are now gone and some unit testing related methods are listed, none of the assertions are still not popped up by auto-completion. I would attribute that to kdevelop rather than debian, as I know there had been some issues with auto-completion which were fixed in later releases)
So, my first expectation broken, I continued with using the system. And within two hours I saw the system breaking at least 4 times. Rekonq, and Konqueror are breaking miserably as of now.
I just made my mind that waiting for 4.6 in debian is worth, rather than hurrying for something else. Let those debian developers take their time and come up with something usable. May Allah bless them.
Update: I upgraded my debian sid to 4.6.2 (using qt-kde.debian.net repository) and using it for 2 days. I have enabled desktop search (nepomuk and strigi) and desktop effects. No single crash so far. That's why I place my trust on debian than Kubuntu when it comes to debian.
