I've been using KDE 4 on Fedora-9 (I'm actually using the KDE-4.1
packages from updates-testing because 4.1 hasn't gotten out of testing
yet). 4.0.x left some to be desired on Fedora but the 4.1 helped smooth
out a lot of rough edges.
If you are hypercritical about desktop features, there is still a lot of
feature regression in KDE-4.1 but it's usable enough for me.
As for Kubuntu/Ubuntu...I don't understand the differences but I am
using KDE on Ubuntu (wasn't hard to get it all installed after original
launch in GNOME) but for now on Ubuntu, I'm only using KDE-3.5.9
