in Plasma, i think the big things are configuration, polish and variety of 
widgets / runners / etc.

the panel and desktop configuration are both rather complete at this point; the 
theming and overall consistency are quite good; and we have tons of new 
widgets and other tidbits making it in for 4.2.

scripting is finally a good reality as well, with Python, JavaSript and 
HTML/CSS all maturing ... our support of Google Gadgets and E17 content as 
well as improved MacOS X Dashboard widget support are all cool as well.

being able to switch your Activity easily in the config is nice; the integrated 
notifications and extenders are also really great to point out.

i agree with Sebastian on this point; get people looking at what is there 
right now and they'll come to the conclusions themseves.

i honestly think we should stop bringing this up. let it fade into the past 
and just present what is there. people can figure it out for themselves. the 
more often we bring it up at this point, the longer it will linger even when 
not pertinent.
