I'm sorry, but this "Will always be problems" isn't going to work. Enlightenment (CVS version) is pretty more stable than KDE4, and the developers insist that E is still Alpha. KDE4 doesn't nearly have half of the features of KDE3, it is slow with "desktop (d)effects", and it's buggy (on my PC, when I logout and login again, my widgets and even the taskbar just disappears - I need to remove ~/.kde folder). And, it's "stable", as the developers say.
And, should I say, they reinvent the wheel. Why "desktop effects" when we have Compiz/Beryl? Wouldn't be more inteligent to help on compiz/beryl development, and integrate it better with KDE?
Then use Enlightenment... KDE4 is far more advance than most desktop environments. Read the reviews from Ars Technica and you will see that the framework behind KDE4 is very advance and could lead to many wonderful things.
Enlightenment, while nice, is meant to be a minimal desktop. A small desktop for slower machines.
And there are also reasons for not use Compiz/Beryl. This was explained on one of the developers blogs. If I find the link, I will post it.
That said, I don't disagree that there are a bunch of problems still. People just need to have more patience. There are reasons it was sent out to the wild and they are we as a whole are going to benefit from this choice. Like it or not.

I am not a huge Dolphin fan myself, but it's purpose was to make a SMALLER LIGHTER file manager. Konqueror was getting to be IEish. KDE recognized that and decided to better split the functionality between Konq and Dolphin. Whether or not you like the implementation, at least KDE recognized a problem and is moving toward correcting it.KDE is doing the same stupid mistake MS made with InternetExplorer. They make IE the center of everything that the windowing system does. Dolphin is the IE of KDE. And of course Dolphin bites the big one. Instead of using the Unix design paradigm of small usable programs that can be linked together to form useful programs. Kde has decided to be a sheep and follow the bleetings of MicroSoft. Monolithic is the order of the day. What a colossal mistake. The design should be a group of objects that can be linked together, gee something like lets see how about QT. Even when it is right under their knoses they can't see it and mindlessly follow MicroSoft's biggest mistake. Or maybe they want to take over the desktop on the Unix environments just as Microsoft did and they are using the same tactics. I bet that's it. They are copying Microsoft so they can control the desktop. What bastards.
Well I for one will not tolerate it.
