I read many bad remarks about KDE5 and Kubuntu 15.04. Some of its are a 
little bit aggressive!
I only want to give my better feeling to KDE/Kubuntu developers about 
the new releases.
The migration from 14.10 to 15.04 was very smooth for me and I had very 
few problems to adapt my old brain (I'm 63 (old ?))
I like new features and I'm ready to support some issue but my usage of 
Kubuntu 15.04 didn't reached any important one since end of April. So 
give my congratulations to KDE/Kubuntu developers.

Naturally I recommend users to keep LTS release when needing a very 
stable PC
