Not just the Plasma desktop, there is a lot of KDE software that works well even outside of the KDE desktop, and some of it is really excellent. I find Kate to be a criminally underrated editor for example. It never comes up in VSCode vs vim/... discussions, but I think it's an excellent VSCode replacement if you're looking for something more familiar. Currently my favorite editor hands down.

Yes, I totally agree! The first such tool was KDEConnect for me, I used its xfce compatible fork back in the day, and it was like magic, connecting my phone to the PC in such a native feeling way. And the Kate editor is my latest discovery. I used it in a throwaway KDE environment because it's the default editor and I was surprised how nice it actually is.
