It takes some getting used to, default config is weird, finding settings is 
awkward, and it's slow. Also, a bunch of bugs...

That said, it's very conducive to working well and slickly once configured 
correctly. Also, the bug fixes to lots of old bugs is nice. And....I don't 
know. It's purdy.

Dragging icons to the toolbar has been hit or miss for me. Cannot get firefox 
onto the bar, but I can get Kate on there. Still haven't figured that one out.

Agreed. Lameness took those away.

That's the default, but you can make it go away or stretch it full screen, so 
it's just like a desktop. Useful, but again, not easy to get used to.
