    KDE 3 over everything else.

    I love modern KDE, and use many different desktop environments regularly, but nothing will ever come close to the feeling I had the first time I got to experience KDE. And I really don’t think anyone has been able to approach the configurability KDE 3 had

      I see you, but man, I am of the exact opposite opinion. Configurability is, for me, a bug that needs to be fixed when it comes to desktop environments. It should be as standard as possible across machines.

        A good DM need to strike a balance between configurability and ergonomy/ease of use.

        As a novice user I loved to tweak the many configuration options, but it’s time consuming and often lead to something worse than the default, leading to further tweaking.

        Now I appreciate good defaults because that means there’s few settings that needs tweaking.

        Some DMs like early Gnome 3 releases went a bit too far removing configuration options, and have been slowly adding them back over several years.
