We now live in a world where KDE looks nicer, more professional, and more consistent than the latest macOS. I don't know how that happened, and KDE isn't even particularly nice looking, but here we are.

For many years now KDE has focused on polish, bug fixing and "nice-to-have" improvements rather than major redesigns, and it paid off.

And yet people still complain about some inconsistencies in UI.

There's two types of desktops: the ones people complain about, and the ones nobody uses.

I can’t stand those smug one-liners — they flatten reality instead of reflecting it.

Reality is... often-times the best things are often unused. And if these things were hypothetically used... there'd be significantly less complaints than the status quo.
