I like KDE, but every time I use it as a daily driver, I again run into all of those little issues that make it frustrating over time. Little breakages, weird Qt dependency hell, the works. I came to Mint because Cinnamon really has been built with being bomb-proof as the highest priority. The details are sweated, and the feature set is lean, so they can really focus on quality.

Some might say it feels dated, but for me Cinnamon gives more of an impression that the whole thing has been thought through. It has a better grip on various aspects of design like its use of whitespace, control alignment, and typography too.

Don’t get me wrong, KDE is a nice desktop in many ways, but it would benefit considerably from attention of a professional UI designer.
