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.

didn't it clearly say in the final paragraphs that, with KDE the taskbar is a mess. I for I, will continue to recommend Sway. /s

I'm a diehard i3/sway fan.

IMHO the 'desktop environment' is supposed to get out of your way. I'll admit that sometimes having a widget that makes it "easier" to connect to random wifi, or bluetooth devices is handy; but that depends on your use-case.

My hardware changes once every 5-10 years, and I never use bluetooth so these features are not helpful to me.
