Here we go again.

I am happy Plasma is focusing on stability, but I literally do not understand why it hasn't been a focus since the KDE 3 days.

Plasma 4 and Plasma 5 would have crashes within minutes of running with the default settings for me, using a non English language setting but running on stable/well supported distributions (Debian, Fedora, SUSE, Kubuntu). KMail is another story of neglect: Again stability problems and possibilty of data loss, not even thinking of the lacking QOL features like automatic setup of Google and/or Microsoft accounts.

Plasma 6 was the first one in many years which didn't immediatly crash, so some progress there.

This is one of the big reasons I would not even consider using KDE after 3 on my desktops.

I loved KDE 3 and I would love to return to Plasma/KDE, so I hope they succeed with improving the stability and get their KMail story sorted out.
