Plasma is rock solid. Yes, you can break it. And that is called freedom.
If you don't install 30 third party widgets and themes, you'll be FINE, while still being able to make it yours.
That is why I always choose KDE Plasma (we'll see when Cosmic comes).
I love it but I definitely wouldn't call it rock solid. I have occasional small bugs here and there and especially with the Plasma 6 switch I've had the whole desktop going down (and taking all programs with it). That has been fixed though.
It is way to overwhelming for me personally. I need something that isn't distracting.
If Xfce gets good Wayland support maybe I'll try it for fun at some point.
Distracting how?
Everything is an option or extension. I just want a basic system.
Then just install it and use it. No need for tweaks.
But them all the setting a buried under tons of options I'll never use. On gnome the settings menu is nice and clean.
There is a search bar..?
I was not satisfied with Plasma because I would have different window styles etc.
With Plasma 6 I removed all themes and all the shit and customized it with builtin features only. It looks so nice and clean and just works like a charm.
Encountering sleep/black screen bug is not freedom. The average linux user is shifting, its not longer being used only by teens/tech savvy. People want to get things done.

I don't think you understood my comment. Sorry.
Hear hear!
