@Martin Flöser 

Only the heavens know how much I'd like to flame you to hell and back for your
arrogance. If it's any consolation I'd extend the courtesy to the rest of the
guys who decide things in KDE/Plasma/whatever.
I *love* this project but *hate* the decisions of the steering commitee or
whatever.

Let me summarize, since I was recently forced to upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04:

* Lost the ability to tab windows (this was huge for me)
* Lost the ability for dashboard (loved this feature)
* Lost lots of plasma-applets that where actually useful like switching desktop
resolution WITHOUT the taskbar rioting. 
* Plasmoid "Regression": Compare network-monitor and cpu-monitor with the
Plasma-4 version and weep
* Stability issues (random hangs)

What have I gained:
* If viewed favorably: a new skin. Breeze.
* If not: a whole lot of nothing.
* I like the new Application Menu tough

Dashboard is to complicated? A feature that worked in the last iteration?
(Never saw any of the bugs you spoke of). So you level-up the framework to gain
more possibilities (I presume), but can't replicate features of the old
version? I mean it when I ask: Aren't you ashamed as devs?

Whenever KDE arrives at a stable version you guys start anew and the next years
your users are demoted to beta-testers all over again. Do you get any money
from somewhere to actively boycott the project? From where I sit it surely
looks that way, considering that the tech-base with Qt is vastly superior to
GTK and Gnome. There should be no rational reason to not be the best desktop
environment in town... if it weren't for your management decisions.

But I guess the "tone" of this post will result in no answers or dismissive
ones. I'm all for cutting devs some slack but what has transpired the last
years is a horrendous mess. You actually have users, you know. Like people who
use your product to work. Yet you sh*t all over them again and again.
