Also, you can change the "start menu" in KDE to one that's more Windows 95ish if you really want to.

This makes sense as an abstract, overall goal, but a 'vision' ought to suggest what roles KDE software will fill in this amazing hypothetical future, and how the project as a whole should progress towards it.

Reading the article, all I saw was a bunch of dumb platitudes about freedom and diversity. I wish FLOSS projects would knock of this childish mentality. Why do they even have to bring up diversity? It's a meaningless platitude. Next step for KDE, I fear, is they'll be outright racist and sexist like Gnome is.
Everyone: The work should not just be for a small group of people. The fruits of our work should be available to all, without being restricted to materially, educationally or socially privileged people.Last edited by eggbert; 05 April 2016, 12:57 PM.

And yes, too many layers of nested settings is a KDE misfeature (of course, Gnome et al. just don't have those settings!). It's getting better in some places.

Logout time in 5.6 is just baffling, I have no idea how it can be so bad.
Not much difference in speed once logged in though. Kwin effects takes 1 second to disable.

No freely configurable whisker menu, no freely configurable bottom panel, only delete. Stupid menu on the left top corner. In xfce you can set panels to autohide and move panels freely.
