That's what I ran at my old job and I definitely miss it at my new one, where what I have is Windows with MSYS2 and WSL. Plasma feels more predictable to me than Windows does, and I really like what it builds into the desktop environment itself. The essentials— window management, the volume mixer, global keyboard shortcut configuration, the panels, the desktop, compose key support, the default terminal emulator, the network management applet, display configuration, the default GUI text editor, the file manager, etc.— all feel just right to me, with very little tweaking required. What configuration is required is straightforward in the GUI and super easy to automate or save in my dotfiles. Some of this is my own habituation to Plasma's quirks over the years, and some of it is my usage patterns not intersecting with open issues that Windows users would likely find strange. But I do think it's genuinely a wildly underrated desktop that a lot of developers would quickly come to love if they gave it a chance.
