I like what I see but for me it's a case of focusing on the tree and missing the forest. At least it's good to know that KDE does in fact have a Visual Design group.

The analog clock is nice. Now dump Plasma.
The side bar is a duplicate of Files. The only difference is the header icons that duplicate the minimalist icons in Files.
If they "dump Plasma", then they also dump the analog clock Plasma is the graphical UI of KDE, just like GNOME Shell is for GNOME. They can't drop it because otherwise there won't be much left.
The side bar is Dolphin, and it was there before Files even existed.

Dumping Plasma
Why would the KDE project dump Plasma at this point? It definitely had its warts during the KDE 4.x series but it is being redone for the KDE 5 SC releases. Plasma was and is very innovative and because of this the initial implementation had some rough points. Plasma Workspaces 2 should fix most of the bottlenecks that the technology has had to this point. It will also allow the KDE project to have their own tablet, phone, touch, desktop, and media center UI's while reusing most of the same code.
I'm very excited about the KDE 5 projects because they are taking many of the ambitious ideas that they implemented during the KDE4 series and refining them into even better and more useful projects and versions in the future. Akonadi is being redone a bit and the lessons learned from the KDE implementation of NEPOMUK has resulted in a Baloo. I'm looking forward to great things to come for KDE this year.

The forums are quite open to user suggestions, as long as you are willing to back them up with concrete examples and not just trolling.
