KDE is not just more configurable, they pack incredible innovation, like KDE Connect. Not to mention their semantic desktop ideas, which have been watered down post Nepomuk, nearly 20 years later still ahead of its time. It's the best of open source and user choice to have this international and often quite different source of new ideas and abilities.

Worth mentioning that despite the name, KDE Connect (or an alternate implementation) is available almost everywhere. You don't need to be running KDE.

True, but it "came from" KDE and is pretty deeply baked in.

He means that it's an amazing utility and everybody should try it, no matter their desktop or operating system (available in windows, linux, and osx)

Yes. And Android/iOS.
