I haven't particularly minded the cashew here, especially after they changed it to fade out unless hovered over, but I never really understood why they insisted on it remaining for those really bothered by it, when its functionality was available elsewhere. So reading that there's an option to turn it off in plasma5 is good news, and given the option, I probably will as well.
kde-plasma-ihatethecashew does wonders on Plasma 4. :-)
Of course, as you somewhat implied, one person's insignificant nitpick is someone else's absolutely critical feature, as the kde devs found out all too well in the kde3 -> kde4 upgrade. Thankfully, they're being less forceful about dropping support for what actually works in favor of new but broken stuff, this time around. If distros are forcing upgrades, that's on them and for me anyway could be a reason to switch distro, but at least the kde folks are being a bit more understanding about people's absolutely critical features, this time around, and continuing to provide at least minimal/security upgrades somewhat longer, for those who find their absolutely critical features are simply broken in the new version, and who thus need to wait awhile until they're either fixed or worst-case dropped as features entirely, so they know they have to find alternatives.
KDE upstream is actually no longer shipping any updates to kde-workspace 4.x, they even locked the repository to prevent everybody from committing any fixes to it.

Wow! Time to go switch completely off of KDE then. :-(

I wouldn't be overly alarmist about it. I've had my issues with Plasma5 but now have switched to LXQt/Kwin (which use Qt5 and KDE Frameworks 5) and am able to use Qt and KDE apps with no issues.
For me at least, the issues I experienced had the effect of driving home the new nomenclature. ;-)
I get frustrated also, but I guess what I'm trying to say is don't throw the baby out with the bath water.
Yeah, same here. LXQt/KWin seems to work fine here too without reinstalling. I can still use my KDE/Qt apps too. Indeed it's a happy medium! :)

get rid of that bullshit or use a mail-address where no retarded admin configured a milter to add it - that makes *no sense* for a *public* list
Yeah, I kinda agree but, there's not really much I can do about it. Sorry. It goes on all outgoing emails.
