this is one of the most unsubstantiated claims and blog posts I've ever seen. How something can be presented as a "favorite desktop" with this little justification, and a heavy focus on a few features which provide such little value to most of the population, is absurd to me. This is not a useful feature comparison for 99.999999% of people. However, it seems to have sparked some good discussion here so I guess that is valuable!

Are you under the impression that every person who expresses an opinion is obligated to justify it to some arbitrary bar? They are not. This person likes kde and presented some reasons why. That's it. Don't overthink it.

I agree - I am overthinking it a bit. Kudos to the poster for publishing something and it getting to front page. I suppose where my trouble comes from is that my bar is different. However, indeed, one bar isn't necessarily better than another.

Author here: I like to think my blog kind like my personal space. I didn't expect this particular post to become as popular to be honest (it is the most popular blog post from my blog right now, and I think I wrote way more interesting pieces in the past), but here it is.

But yes, if I was going to write a full intricate review I would probably get exhausted and never post anything. Instead, I just wanted to highlight a few of the things that I found good (and yes, they're good from MY point of view), and I am glad this was enough to generate a good discussion.
