It’s the same as with Linux, GIMP, LibreOffice or OnlyOffice. Some people are so used to their routines that they expect everything to work the same and get easily pissed when not.

Yes, the KDE twitter account even mocked Microsoft’s for some of their latest ‘innovations’.

Well, ultimately, I’m glad that something open source is wagging the dogs tail, I assumed it was the other way around.

Yes and no, it’s mean that the creativity and innovation of people at KDE is taken without credit. But on the other hand it shows that their features are really great…

BTW they not only copied ideas but also KDE Plasma’s slogan “Simple by default, powerful when needed.”
