Video: The State of KDE Frameworks 5, Plasma 2

[Awesomeness]

KDE 4 was revolutionary, not evolutionary. They DRASTICALLY changed...Just about everything. KDE 5 is meant to be relatively boring and more of an evolutionary update from the sounds of it.

There will be no KDE 5, only Plasma 2.

I really like KDE but has anyone seen any good plasmoids around? Even the stock ones seem unfinished. The promise was so much more. Sure, the tech will get updated but plasma will remain not very useful. Keeping my thumbs up anyway, maybe QML2 will allow for easier creation of cool plasma apps/gadgets?

KDE4 took a few years and like 6 point releases to get rid of all important bugs, if that's any indication KDE Fr5 should be actually ready by like 2016.
