I’m really looking forward to Plasma6. I know gnome has its fans but I am really just a reluctant user. Every day gnome works against me and I have to resort to workarounds.

Do I want to navigate, inspect, and manipulate my files quickly? I use dolphin.

Do I want to have a convenient panel to get a very quick glance of my currently running programs as well as a place to pin my most commonly used ones? That’s an extension.

Do I want sub-windows to always block their parent window, preventing me from interacting with the parent further? No solution.

Do I want desktop icons? Do I want excessive notifications from common tasks my computer is doing instead of from my own programs?

I have more complaints but I think I am making myself clear. Overall I do like gnome and it has good performance, but there are so many annoying aspects. KDE is itself not perfect. There’s enough reasons for me to continue using gnome over kde5. But that’s why I hold out hope for plasma 6.
