It doesn't bring about the best response in many people. Just saying what you don't like about a feature is better, IMHO. And, FWIW and IMHO, making a subject with "praise" and "Windows" is only done by most people for effect or to garner attention and takes away from what one really wants to address. It already places a negative slant on things...IMHO. But, I feel, if one has a hard time expressing what they don't like and really need to compare they should compare current to current.

FWIW, I like that I can configure the KDE System Settings to look like the old KDE Kontrol Center. And I prefer the Application Launcher Classic Style over the Kickoff Style. In both cases I find the ones I prefer to be more concise and easier to find things than the "Icon Style". -- The kernel license has expired 葛斯克 愛德華 / 台北市八德路四段
