I know this is a completely subjective matter but I'm really surprised you'd use the word flashy and in your face as a description, I really like it, but boring and dull could fit better as a criticism IMO, specially with older versions, I'm really curious about your choice of words, this is what it looks like to me: http://i.imgur.com/J82pZMh.png http://i.imgur.com/J82pZMh.png You'd say that is flashy? Just curious :)

That screenshot is almost entirely text. It doesn't give a sense of the actual KDE ui.

  Actually it's almost entirely white space, which does give a sense of the actual KDE ui.

  Better? http://i.imgur.com/3FHVKNC.png http://i.imgur.com/3FHVKNC.png still the same in my opinion.

Of course, it's totally subjective. It's not boring a dull to me. I find Gnome to be boring and dull (and I like that). I also was talking more about KDE shell than the apps but the apps are somewhat similar :) I mean checkout this: https://www.kde.org/announcements/4.3/images/kde430-desktop_thumb.jpg https://www.kde.org/announcements/4.3/images/kde430-desktop_... Too much going on. Too much transparency, too much eye candy as if everything is made of glass. Plus the unnecessary widgets to hold desktop icons. I'm no expert in UI/UX design but as a user I find it unpleasant.
