What do you object to in my words?

I haven't tested.  Perhaps Felix hasn't either.  But why does it matter?  Why 
must TDE constantly compete?  Why is it a competition?  Each person uses what 
her or she likes.  If you prefer KDE5, I see no reason why you shouldn't use 
KDE5.  Why does TDE have to become like it??  If KDE5 is now faster than TDE 
on similar hardware, good for it.

Difference and individuality are part of what Open Source and Free Software 
are all about.
