To me that means thinking about contextual information rather than "dumbing down". I don't remember anything significant being removed in the last 5 years, Dolphin is an almost perfect "power user" file manager, and they have not been messing around with it. In fact the whole Plasma desktop environment is getting into a nice stable state. I can see it being overwhelming for someone used to an iPhone (or Gnome :p), but the KDE approach seems to be to hide advanced options/GUI by default if needed, but make enabling them a simple check box that doesn't suddenly disappear one day.

> I don't remember anything significant being removed in the last 5 years, Dolphin is an almost perfect "power user" file manager When Dolphin first came out, it was arguably a 'dumbed down' version of Konqueror, which has even more features and also supported web browsing. But over time, it became clear that Dolphin did a great job of organizing and simplifying Conqueror's file management functionality without losing power in any way that mattered. I hope that kind of change is what the new KDE HIG is going for. If so, I think KDE is going to be better than ever.
