I was a bit surprised by that line as well. I mean of course KDE is going to be behind GNOME in general since it is a bit more volunteer centric with less corporate funding, but I don't think it's in bad shape at all, and it is my preferred desktop environment. Many individual KDE projects are open-source gems. (Krita, Kdenlive, Dolphin, KDE Connect)

KDE Connect is easily the one desktop application that adds the most value for me in day-to-day use, on the scale of "How could I ever live without this?"

(Although it would be nicer if it were a desktop-agnostic "Linux Connect", but the sad state of XDG means that this might never happen.)
