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.

1. Okular - PDF viewer with lots of annotation and accessibility features

2. Dolphin - file manager with advanced features

3. Spectacle - most advanced screenshot tool I have seen

You mean the one screenshot tool that couldn't capture windows with their title bar and border but without shadows for almost a decade?

Sir, aesthetics are a pretty low priority in my miserable life.
