It did. Even by KDE5 (which frankly I cant see much difference from KDE6).

But still, it's never perfect.

And is still the fattiest FOSS has to offer.

Compared to GNOME, it's still fairly lightweight.

Oh. Thanks. I wouldn't/didn't know. GNOME's insanity is even greater than KDE4's insanity. So insane (and anti-user) it overshadows its other flaws. I cant even bring myself to suffer it to find out its bloated.

Edit: Like, so far gone, I tend not even think of it any more.

Edit2: That's even more astonishing now that I think about it. They're heavier than KDE... KDE's heavy with purpose, availing so much configuration to the user. GNOME have managed to be heavyweight, how? By depriving the user configurability?! That's even more insane! Like genuinely, not just a flippant remark. The GNOME developers, need their minds examined, and offered help, to stop them being a harm to themselves and everybody. It's simply not sane.

Edit3: ... It's GNOME who have that guy who did time for over a thousand instances of kiddy fiddling, right? If that's right... like I say... there's something simply not right in their heads.
