But I do agree with the rest of that. So many people use KDE on distributions that you shouldn't use KDE on, like Ubuntu and Debian (they're a lot better than they were 5 years ago, I'll give them that). Then you have the "ultra minimalist" fools that try to remove as many packages as possible like they're still rocking 256MB HDD and KDE is basically the exact opposite in that regard. I intentionally install every single KDE package offered because that's how their build tool works -- unless you tell it otherwise it builds the whole damn thing for you to use so I figure that's a good sign to install everything they offer. Minimalists wouldn't do that and then they wonder why stuff doesn't work or they get odd crashes that no one else gets.
IMHO, that highlights something I've always suspected -- that KDE needs a dependency audit to shift more of their optional dependencies into required dependencies so the user environment is more inline with the development environment.
