KWin is great, as are Dolphin, the 'System Settings' GUI, and many other KDE applications. But for the life of me I cannot understand the praise of Plasma. It crashes or otherwise breaks regularly for me (for instance, my autohiding panel will sometimes disappear completely, forcing me to kquitapp5/kstart5 plasmashell to get it back) Edit mode is a usability nightmare, I feel like I need to be super careful about where I move my mouse while using it because otherwise it does things I didn't intend with errant mouse hovers. And while it may not be the fault of plasmashell itself, many of the plasmoids are broken, janky, or generally just not very good. While I use KDE, I try to avoid all the plasma stuff as much as possible.
