I used to use Yakuake heavily. Loved it. It made me much more productive.
Then I realized what was the reason behind it. And it's not the animation.
Yakuake has a specific shortcut that your muscle memory can remember. Making Yakuake super accessible.
It's like my brain has now O(1) to access my konsole.
So I removed Yakuake and saved a specific shortcut for Konsole.
It's much better. Because there's no annoying notification and the window is full screen.
I applied this pattern to all my apps and I'm far more productive than I've ever been in any environment:
F1 opens up browser
F2 opens up pdf viewer
F3 opens up text editor...
(You can apply a shortcut to any application/window using Kwin -> Special Application Settings -> Arrangement & Access
