What about Chromium and Firefox which are not only orders of magnitude more popular, but also have insane budget and enormous engineering teams?

Just look at a menu button for instance. With GTK it's trivial to create dynamic menus with rich widgets inside the menu popup. On Qt and KDE you're limited to a primitive list of uniform menu items and cannot do anything to fix that. This limitation is also inherited by the useless "KHamburgerMenu" which is just a regular menu button with a hardcoded icon assigned to it.
This overhyped KCommandBar is also only a text box and list view combined together. Jesus christ! This is introduction-level skills. Besides, did anyone even notice that on the blog post, the video showcasing this feature is 11 seconds long? Did you notice it's displaying user using the command box to trigger an action that also has a keyboard shortcut assigned to it? It's a useless workaround for features that power users would always have keyboard shortcuts for.Last edited by curfew; 22 May 2021, 09:45 PM.

Nice feature. It reminds me a lot of the Unity HUD which I loved and miss. That was super useful for applications like Gimp, with its plethora of commands.
This one looks the same but more closely linked to the application from a UI standpoint. I think it looks great also, not sure what the complaint is about.
I’m someone who prefers thick padding and larger sized widgets, but for those that don’t I think KDE is serving them well.
