it's something I've been pointing out for almost half a decade now, the main problem with KDE isn't any of the bugs, it's the lack of vision of what the project wants to be

it ends up being a mix of windows with now GNOME's design due to it never being able to say no when people want "more features and more preferences"

It wants to be feature rich, configurable, and flexible

GNOME already has the Apple "we know better than you so it's our way or the highway" design strategy down to an art

it's a project with a cohesive idea of what it wants to build, to a certain extent they are perfectly right to stand with "their way or the highway"

this isn't an apple thing, it's just that in the operating system market there isn't any other example of someone having a defined idea of what they want to build

KDE tries to be all of those things, but trying to cast too wide of a net just gets you a mess of settings and unfortunately buggy experience overall

small edit: I have a ton of respect for the KDE devs, I just realized I've been sounding too negative about them, I just don't like the end product
