Especially the earlier named Mandriva Control Centre is the highlight of the distribution since many many years. It is really easy installing software and updates in the same MCC. KDE and Mandriva are "two hands on the same belly".
They co-operate just fantastic, not in the least for the fact because Mandriva-developers spend time in development on KDE for Mandriva.


It might be better to hold off on Mandriva until the issues with the company's financial troubles and the fork get worked it. That is not to say Mandriva is bad, it is just in an akward state right now.

Might be, but Mandriva still exists and the new management announced for a next release in the summer of 2011. There is financial support from some investors, and new developers are recruited for.
Think the choice is up to the user, freedom of choice.

I think that is the most difficult decisions in the distribution is that they are often similar among themselves in many things, so that makes - often - their decision-making dependent on the small particles which meet certain needs of each user.
