I use Cinnamon. Less bloat, more coherent, still plenty of options

Yeah cinnamon is basically a remake of Gnome 2, from before the devs went batshit crazy and went more opinionated than Apple. It's not bad but I really prefer KDE, also because I think Qt is a much better desktop framework than GTK is.

But what things in KDE do you consider 'bloat'?
