Yes, KDE4 is absolutely fantastic. I just moved from Ubuntu 16.04 to 14.04 because of similar reasons. There are many issues with KDE 5 that I was just trippng over. I could not simply right-click and use icon settings to change application parameters conveniently. I cannot use window tabs to drag and regroup windows. The omissions were just killing my workflow. I have started a kvm server running 16.04 in the new machine in order to make use of ZFS in the Linux kernel as supplied by the distro. Support for legacy features are critical in the commercial software world. Promoters of FOSS often claim that it is superior in part because of increased flexibility, options and community support. Yet I was practically ridiculed and taunted for suggesting I would move back to KDE4 over on Freenode #plasma. Ironically, I was informed that it is no longer "supported."
