kde decision

I currently am running (when it works) kde on X11 thru Fink. I have 
tried to use several of the apps like kword and kspread but they crash 
at some of the worst times so I tried to update to KDE3.2 to no avail. 
Compiling won't happen and I have pretty much run out of time to keep 
trying this. I love KDE, I love the look, themes, integration of apps, 
koffice, kmail and all the rest but I'm going to have to put it aside 
I'm afraid and want to have an objective opinion on the pre-alpha 
version of KDE/Darwin. Is it worth trying? Is it dependable?
Thanks for any info
