After 10years - those basic applications still cause problems ... and you call it "more stabilization and performance work" ... come on - jokes. The problem as I understood it is fundamental disagreement between stability and functionality. New KDE missed the target in my opinion, but as free software, it has always another chance. It missed the target, because they promised to deliver and delivered never in the past 10y. Same story with systemd - only mess and problems - and it seems it will stay like this. So I stick to the old 3.5 which is now trinity 14 and for a desktop it is great. Indeed there are still some bugs here and there, but nothing you could call criticall. For mobile devices - meego and mer are again the better choice. However a friend uses KDE5 and it looks much better, works much better and is more promising ... but again with issues. If they finally manage to deliver now - it will be great and I will be glad - after 10y. >From code perspective (design etc) new KDE looks great, compared to old KDE it is much easier to work with the code, but I guess there are still some fundamental misunderstandings. Just my 5cent. regards
